Baemin expands free shuttle buses to rider safety school
Baemin's logistics arm is expanding free shuttle buses to help delivery riders reach its safety training school in Hanam, South Korea.
The service began in Suwon and Yongin on October 27, after a trial in Goyang and Paju in August.
The company plans to extend the routes to 18 cities within 100 minutes of the school, while keeping existing routes from Jamsil and Cheonho.
During the trial, 73% of riders who attended were first-time participants, compared with 32.8% in earlier regular classes.
The shuttle aims to make safety training easier to reach for riders who live far from the school.
Safety training becomes mandatory for new delivery workers on December 3 under a revised South Korean law.
The company says it will use riders' feedback as it expands the service.
