우버택시와 면허제도에 대한 연구

The development of the information communication technology is bringing many changes to the world. As the sharing platform using this technology grows rapidly, the sharing economy market is growing explosively. In particular, network-based Uber Taxi has changed the form of the transport market. Uber starts from the sharing economy. It is the economy model that people use the existing resource efficiently by sharing or exchanging the produced resource. It originates from a concept of highly regarding the use value rather than the excessive ownership after undergoing the global financial crisis. The sharing economy platform company using the developed ICT in line with this global trend is Uber Taxi. Uber taxi service using the smart phone app reduces time and does away with refusing passengers or fare dispute. Uber has opened a new chapter in the taxi market. This revolutionary change symbolized as Uber is causing various problems to the taxi transport business despite many advantages as shaking the existing industrial structure. First, the appearance of Uber Taxi is based on the sharing economy. It is aimed at operating efficiently without threatening the existing industry. But currently Korean taxi market is at the state of the supply excess. Also, it is bringing on the problem about the right to live to people engaged in the general taxi transport, the vulnerability of the labor relationship to people driving Uber Taxi, and the worry about the safety to the passengers. Even the service by ICT innovation should be done within the border of Passenger Transport Service Act. However, Uber Taxi includes illegal elements. People who want to do taxi business legitimately in Korea must not carry out the commercial transportation by the private car or rental car. It is possible to do taxi business only by the vehicle equipped with the yellow number for business. The taxi driver must be the taxi driver being engaged in the work-site operations. One must possess the taxi license and business license in order to do taxi business. As long as Uber does not acquire the license on the Passenger Transport Service Act, any type of business is the illegal business. Therefore, the Uber’s action of leading this business without acquiring the Passenger Transport Service license is the unlicensed action according to Transport Service Act, being a target of sanction. Although the regulation against Uber Taxi is based on the license problem, the direct reason for the inhibition seems to be the economic understanding collision concerning the existing taxi industry. If this new system is blocked by the existing law and system, the technical innovation and the benefit for consumers may be reduced. The institutional complementation is required. In this thesis, the policy problem of Uber Taxi and the license system on Transport Service Act were examined.
