"This taxi can't go outside the prefecture"—have you ever had that experience?
That’s because of the “operating area” rule for taxis. Once you understand the mechanism, you’ll see how to effectively use long-distance travel across regions.
Operating area of taxis(Sales area) is the area defined by law as the range within which taxi companies are allowed to operate. Without knowing this, you are likely to be turned down for trips that you want to take far away. In this article, we have organized the basic information about sales areas and the four patterns of where you can and where you can get off, as follows:A method that can be relied on anywhere in the country even when traveling across regionsWe will explain it in a simple way up to the point.
What is the "operating area" of a taxi in the first place?
The sales area is the "area where taxis are allowed to operate" as determined by the country (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism). This is determined based on the company's location; for example, in Saitama Prefecture, there are categories such as "South Central Transport Area." This is a system aimed at protecting users and preventing excessive competition, and all taxi companies adhere to it.
"4 patterns" of whether you can ride or not
The points are:Is either the departure point (where you board) or the destination (where you disembark) within the operating area?So, to summarize, it goes like this:
| Where to get on | Where to get off | Can I? |
|---|---|---|
| Within the sales area | Outside the region (such as outside the prefecture) | GOT IT |
| Outside the region | Within the sales area | GOT IT |
| Within the sales area | Within the sales area | GOT IT |
| Outside the region | Outside the region | Not allowed |
In other words, "get on" or "get off"Only one of the two is within the sales areaIn that case, the other one is not a problem even if it is outside the region (distant). Only when both are outside the region is it not acceptable—this is where the pitfall often lies.
Before giving up on things that are "out of the region,"
There are not few people who give up from the very beginning because their home is outside the area or their destination is far away. But in reality,You can rely on them if either your home or your destination falls within the coverage area.Most cases are like this. For example, “from my home in Saitama to a hot spring in Nagano” or “from Narita Airport to Nagoya” can all be arranged if one side is within the area.
Here's the point that makes sense:Because of the limitations of the sales area,To a company with a wide range of coverage areas, ask them to move only one side of the area.This is a smart use of the bus. Long-distance and out-of-county transfers across regions can also be accomplished with door-to-door service without changing buses.
