At first, I feel uneasy and helpless. No, there wouldn't be a single person who didn't have anxiety.
However, it is also true that all the crew members currently on board have overcome that anxiety and are working hard.
Of course, not all jobs are good.
However, there are various joys and dramas that can only be obtained by people who become taxi drivers.

Also, it is attractive that you will definitely get income in proportion to the results of your hard work!
Taxi Driver has drama at every turn. The main character is you. I wish you the best.
Q.
A.
Taxis work long hours and have an image of being tough. How hard is it really?
Certainly, if you pay attention to the fact that one workday is 21 hours, you will have an image of it being difficult, but in fact, you can live a regular and healthy life to the extent that you can think that there are not many other jobs that are so easy on your body.
It is strictly stipulated that you must take a break of 3 hours or more in a day's work, and there is no such thing as "endless overtime".
The day after work (called “Ake”) is a day off. The basic shift is a 5-day cycle, starting at work → at dawn → at work → at dawn → public holidays. It is said that resting in a taxi is part of the job, and it is important to take a good rest at the beginning of the day.
Also, as an aside, in general society, no one wants to work overtime, but in taxis it's the exact opposite, and it's common to think, "I want you to work more overtime." The reason is that if you increase sales, your salary will change by 1 yen, so everyone wants to continue operating for a long time. I cannot work overtime.
Q.
A.
What is Tourist Taxi Driver? Also, what should I do?
Sightseeing taxi drivers are different from regular taxi drivers in that they guide customers around Tokyo according to their requests.
Since geography and knowledge are required, drivers are studying not only in the company's sightseeing taxi training session but also on a daily basis.
We also welcome foreigners who can speak English.

How much is your salary?
Salary is 50-62% of monthly business income.

At first, it doesn't go as expected, but you can earn a high income depending on your motivation.
Q.
A.
Do you have a quota?
In the taxi industry, "quota" is called "cut off" or "unstandardized", but each driver strives to improve customer service and service, always maintains the original intention, and stabilizes individual sales income. In order to achieve this, we have set quotas.
Please be assured that there are usually few drivers who do not go to "Ashikiri".
