LINE TAXI has entered its 4th anniversary since its launch in 2019. Just yesterday (2nd) LINE announced that it has jointly launched a new transportation mobile service LINE GO with Yulon Group. It has not only upgraded the original LINE TAXI ride-hailing service, but also added a new car rental service “Self-Travel Rental” and “Airport Transfer Service” to expand the scope and increase the number of vehicles.
LINE GO is officially launched: LINE joins hands with Yulon Group to integrate three major services: taxi hailing, car rental, and airport transfers
Yesterday (2nd), LINE and Yulon Group jointly launched “LINE GO”, a one-stop integrated transportation and mobility service, which combines Yulon Group’s value chain resources, connects the LINE ecosystem, and combines the offline and online advantages of both parties to extend the competitive advantage of “changing mobile services with technology” to bring users a better and more diverse mobile experience. It introduces multiple services into the digital technology platform and creates a mobile ecosystem for smart life for users through a one-stop digital integrated experience. Three major services were released on the first day of launch: “LINE TAXI introduces AI voice-hailing and functional upgrades”, “New car rental service – self-guided rental officially launched”, “New upgrade of airport pick-up service”, the official also announced that more mobile services will be launched in LINE GO in the future.
LINE GO launches the industry’s first “AI Voice Taxi Hailing” anthropomorphic taxi-hailing mode: using LINE CLOVA Chatbot as the service foundation, integrating the voice taxi-hailing function, and using the powerful AI model of Microsoft Azure OpenAI service for corpus training, improving the accuracy of system identification of demand and shortening the service introduction time. Synchronization also uses Microsoft STT (speech to text) and TTS (text to speech) technology, combined with LINE Call Plus voice service, to break away from the cumbersome address input process in the past and realize the convenient life of calling a taxi by voice.
The newly launched car rental service “Self-Travel Rental” allows you to rent a car with just one click using a LINE GO account with a mobile phone. You can rent and return a car at the same place, rent from one place and return it to another place (more than 600 locations), or go to Shuangbei and beyond. 100 There is a special parking lot, so it is very convenient to rent and return a car. In terms of car models that car renters are interested in, LINE GO offers a wide range of car models, including domestic and imported cars from multiple brands. There are also seven-seater and gasoline-electric cars to meet the needs of different car rental areas. It also introduces luxury cars such as the Volvo XC4o small SUV. In the future, we plan to introduce ESG energy-saving concept services and introduce electric vehicles.
Previously, LINE TAXI’s airport pick-up service was mainly limited to the Shuangbei area, and it was based on a reservation system. The vehicle must be reserved and payment completed 24 hours before departure. However, now LINE GO has expanded its airport pick-up and drop-off service to Taichung Qingquanggang Airport and Kaohsiung Xiaogang Airport, allowing people living in central and southern China to easily request a ride.The new airport transfer service is expected to be launched in early November. In addition, “instant pick-up” will be launched at Taoyuan International Airport as a priority to cater for the temporary pick-up needs of passengers.
In terms of service vehicles for airport pick-up and drop-off, in addition to competitive and affordable domestic cars, there are also high-end business cars suitable for picking up and dropping off VIPs, or six-seater cars that are convenient for the whole family. More luxury cars will be added in the future.
