Protecting City Mobility: Hero Taxi Service 'Takuranger' to Launch in April 2026.

Sanwa Kotsu Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kohoku-ku, Yokohama; Representative Director and President: Eiichi Yoshikawa), a taxi and hire car service provider, has decided to launch a new project called "Ryokaku Sentai Takuranger" (Passenger Squadron Taxi Rangers). This initiative aims to address the recent social issue of customer harassment, ensure the safety of its drivers, and provide a taxi service that customers can use with peace of mind.

*"World's first" according to our own research

In this project, a response team of five specially trained heroes, "Takuranger," will be formed to protect both drivers and customers from nuisance acts such as sexual harassment, thereby working towards creating a safe urban transportation environment. Ryokaku Sentai Takuranger is a five-member superhero team formed to make city taxis a more comfortable and safe mode of transportation. They work daily to protect drivers and customers from the evil organization "Mobility Obstruction Army," which aims to disrupt the peace of city mobility by controlling customer harassment monsters that engage in violence, abusive language, unreasonable demands, unauthorized photography, and sexual harassment. This is an original service by Sanwa Kotsu that protects the peace of city mobility.
