Registration Begins for "hab," a Shared Ride Taxi Service Exclusively for Children, for Test Runs in Three Wards of Yokohama City

Registration for use began on December 8, 2011. The tour will run from January 15, 2012 to February 18, 2012. The program will be implemented in three wards in Yokohama City.

- The following is content from the press release -

(Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director: Yohei Toyoda; hereinafter "hab"), which operates "hab," a service that reduces the burden of transporting children by providing shared-ride cabs exclusively for children, has begun registration for test runs in Naka, Tsurumi and Aoba wards in Yokohama City.

Background and Objectives of the Test Run

The burden of transporting children to and from school is a major challenge, especially for working parents.

In a survey conducted in Yokohama in March 2011, one out of two respondents had experienced giving up the way they wanted to work, and one out of two had experienced giving up the lessons their children wanted to learn.

In a test run conducted around the same time in Naka-ku, Yokohama, 100% of the participants said they would like to continue using the service even if it is paid for, and we received comments such as "It has changed my life drastically," "Once I use it, I can't let go of it," and "I hope the service will be launched soon.

We have therefore decided to expand the area to three wards in Yokohama (Naka-ku, Tsurumi-ku, and Aoba-ku) and conduct a test run to enable even more households to use the system. The test runs will be conducted for a fee to confirm the needs of more households.

Through this experiment, we will identify issues in the operation of the service, receive requests from users, and aim for full-scale social implementation within the next fiscal year. Please take this opportunity to experience a new lifestyle without transportation.
