Tada is usually used in Seoul because there is a benefit that people do not have to park their cars in heavy traffic. Like this, Tada is a hero for citizens living in big cities. However, for taxicab drivers, Tada is a great competitor. Now, 250 thousands of taxicab drivers are losing opportunities to work. To protect them, the National Assembly made a law called Tada limitation law. According to this law, drivers from Tada can only work in travel spots, and they should pay money to work in other cities.

However, citizens and Tada users are frustrated about the law. They argue that Tada is used in Seoul, so the Tada limitation law is banning the application. The creator of Tada did not say anything after the implementation of the law. Moreover, people say that it is not fair to limit Tada. There are more applications like Tada, but the government is only restricting a single application.

There are some opinions that state the government is impulsing this law to consist of their power. They criticized that the government wants 10 clear votes, which are from taxicab drivers, more than 1000 unclear votes, and this hinders the development of our society. No matter what the government has decided, we should consider the best solution for the whole community.
