If you live in an area where transportation is inconvenient or if it is difficult for you to use public transportation, call taxis are often used.
Unlike general taxis, call taxis refer to taxis used by calling by phone. The advantage of calling taxis is that there is no need to wait for a taxi that you do not know when it will be picked up, thereby reducing the inconvenience.
Of course, some call taxi companies may incur a call taxi cost, which may be somewhat disadvantageous in terms of cost and charge.
However, as there is a saying that time is money, many people still use the call taxi because it can save time and inconvenience of waiting for a taxi.
