Hello, I'm J.P., the administrator of the mobility service information site "Mobility Japan."
This time, I'll provide you with a quick and convenient "taxi coupon" for your short trips.
There are various options, but which app do you recommend?
In central Tokyo, GO and S.RIDE are rivals! The app name is written on the side door of the taxi, so when a taxi approaches from the front, you don't know which app it supports until you stop!
It's pretty awkward to stop a taxi that isn't supported, so it's a good idea to download both apps in advance! Use the next coupon!

Combatting Lack of Exercise
Using taxis or Luup frequently can lead to lack of exercise. Have you considered food delivery as a way to earn extra money while exercising? There's no noisy boss, you can dress freely, manage your own time, and move your body comfortably!
It's popular as a diet and side job, with hundreds of thousands of delivery drivers nationwide.
Using bicycles or motorcycles for delivery can also be depreciated for tax savings. Ho ho ho!
Thank you for reading until the end.
