Kakao, taxi drivers deal may set bad precedent: SoCarCEO Lee Jae-woong, founder and CEO of car-sharing app SoCar, said the latest deal struck by taxi unions and car-sharing service providers may set a bad precedent as it appears to restrict business activities already allowed under the current law. After a monthslong dispute, an agreement was reached Thursday among the government, lawmakers, taxi companies and car-sharing firms to allow a car-sharing service for four hours daily on weekdays, in a move that hopes to end protests from taxi drivers claiming Kakao’s service would destroy their livelihoods. * set a precedent: 선례를 남기다, 전례를 만들다 On Thursday afternoon, Lee wrote in a Facebook post that the agreement encompasses business activities already allowed under the current law and further restricts the car-sharing business. “What was reached under the grandiose name of ‘Social Great Compromise Organization’ is to allow car-sharing services, which are (already) allowed at rush hour for two hours from 7 a.m. and for two hours from 6 p.m. during weekdays,” Lee said. “Although President Moon Jae-in said he wants to deal with regulations by allowing (businesses) unless they are banned under the law, (the latest) deal restricts business allowed under the law. This may set a bad precedent,” he added. Companies providing paid car-sharing services have already pulled out of Korea, with the exception of Poolus, which recently started offering its services free-of-charge, according to the CEO. *pull out of: 중도에 그만두다, 하차하다, 떠나다 He said he doubted whether this compromise could really be called a compromise for both car-sharing services and taxi companies. “It would have been better if the government had allowed a softer landing, by for instance, allowing paid car-sharing services by setting a limit on numbers,” he said. *soft(er) landing: 경착륙하다, 잘 정착하다, 소프트랜딩 기사 원문: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20190308000539
