It`s actually not that hard. I thought about getting one just for the amusement of it (and because they offered the course for half off after I got my regular license)- it`s not just for taxis but rather for passenger transportation.
But it makes your car insurance go up as you are now authorized to transport for money... So I opted not to. Wasn`t worth it just to have my license be a 第二種.

There is more to the written test on the laws for carrying passengers - but the driving test itself doesn`t change much. They just have you do the normal driving test along with a zig-zag course (both forward and backward). I think the biggest difference is that they test your eyesight, hearing, etc in a lot more detail.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
