Japan will introduce a rideshare system limited to certain areas and times of day, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said Wednesday, as a severe shortage of taxi drivers forces the aging country to rethink its ban.
The system will be set up in the year starting from April under the supervision of taxi firms, Hayashi said, and safety will be a top priority.
