KTis is expanding its 02-114 directory service to offer lifestyle support ahead of heatwaves and the rainy season. The service provides information on nearby heatwave shelters, late-night pharmacies, and companies offering air-conditioner repairs, dehumidifier rentals and flooding-related drainage and disinfection work. It also runs a taxi booking assistance service for older people who find smartphone apps difficult to use. Operating hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

Kakao Mobility said on March 29 it will expand its “Kakao T taxi ordering on behalf” service offline through cooperation with Bundang Seoul National University Hospital. The initiative is part of its support for people with mobility difficulties. The company provided a taxi web-call system that allows hospital staff to request taxis via work PCs. Visitors can give a destination at the information desk and receive trip details once a car is assigned.
