[Name] Fumihiro Sato [Age] 47 [Previous job] Hotel manager

Customers are still the best teachers.
 
~How long have you been a taxi driver? ~
It will be the 6th year including the nursing taxi.

- Why do you want to become a taxi driver?were you there? ~
I used to work for a nursing care taxi company instead of Heiwa Kotsu.
I love this industry because meeting and talking with many customers encourages my growth.
Also, it's a full commission, so it's nice to be able to get paid for your hard work.

~Why did you choose this company among many taxi companies? ~
I changed jobs from a first-class hotel to a nursing-care taxi, and managed the Heiwa Kotsu night stand for about two years while continuing to work.
I was surprised that customers who boarded the taxi did not take the taxi in front of them, but walked to the Heiwa platform even on rainy days.
Besides, I decided to choose this company if I wanted to become a taxi driver because the drivers are all good people.

~How much do you earn? ~
I'll leave it to your imagination.In the future, it is expected that the cost of educating children will increase as they graduate from university, so I think that I will have to do my best in the future.

-Tell me about the good things about this job-
It is the point of complete meritocracy.
I was from Sendai, but at first I had a hard time because I didn't understand the detailed geography.Many customers have taught me every corner, such as shortcuts and back roads, and now I am proud that I can run the best route as a professional.As our understanding of geography deepens, our sales will naturally increase, so I'm happy to see our growth.

Also, it's a short time, but it's a lot of fun to talk with customers.Every day is fresh because I can hear stories from various customers.
Of course, I am human, so I sometimes make mistakes, but even in such a situation, if I can have a pleasant conversation with the next customer, I can easily change my mind.

~Can an inexperienced person become a taxi driver? ~
I was also worried when I first started, but I received solid training and many seniors taught me.
Customers are still the best teachers.

Compared to other companies, I think there are more dispatches, so you can earn money without rushing.
 
~How long have you been a taxi driver? ~
Seven years have passed.

-Why did you decide to become a taxi driver? ~
GroundI was mainly looking for a job that I could work at, but I couldn't find a job that I could do, so I decided to try being a taxi driver for the time being.
When I tried it, I really enjoyed my work.

~Why did you choose this company among many taxi companies? ~
My house is near the downtown area, and the road in front of my house is the most Heiwa Kotsu with actual cars, so I decided that this company would definitely make money.
When I join the company, the local customers call me "Heiwa-san" with a sense of familiarity, which makes me feel worthwhile.

~How much do you earn? ~
I earn enough to live on.

-Tell me about the good things about this job-
I can go home at the same time almost every day, so I can easily schedule my favorite hobbies and use my time effectively.
Actually, this is very important.
Thanks to you, the taxi driver who started for the time being is still continuing.

~Can an inexperienced person become a taxi driver? ~
I also started with no experience, but I think it's enough to be careful about safety so as not to cause a traffic accident.
The company will tell you what you are lacking, and I think there are more vehicles than other companies, so you can earn money without rushing.
 

[Name] Kazue Suzuki [Age]?[Previous job] Sales office

Since I can communicate while riding, I have met a lot of people since I started doing this job.
 
~ Please tell me the decisive factor that chose this job? ~
Until now, I've been looking for a job in clerical work because I've focused on jobs where I can make the most of my qualifications.At that time, full-time employees were very narrow gates, soI thought that a taxi driver would suit me,I applied to Heiwa Kotsu, which has a lot of support for women.In fact, since I got this job, I feel like I'm a good fit.

-What do you enjoy about this job? ~
Every day is fun listening to stories from people of all ages.In addition, since it is a day shift, many of the customers are elderly and they really need a taxi.When I get off the train with a smile and say, "Thank you," I think I'm glad that I'm doing this job.

~ What is the most attractive part of the company? ~
I like the fact that I can work at my own pace, such as when I take time off for personal work or when I have to switch jobs.What I learned after joining the company is that Heiwa Kotsu has a high retention rate.
 
~Please give a message to women who are going to work from now on? ~
I never thought this job was particularly difficult.It's a little hard when you have free time that comes occasionally from time to time, isn't it?... (laughs) Now I'm glad I took the plunge and took on this job!It's an ant to try to act without anxiety ♬
