( st from west in their own neighborhood...)Replacement Drivers Lend a Helping Hand to the Drunk and Stranded in Korea,Health

st from west, in their own neighborhood. Then there are those who refuse to wake up. Drivers often are forced to shuffle through the customers wallet to look for a home address. (Complaints of theft are not uncommon.) Or they check a cellphone to find a home telephone number.

If the customer is very drunk, I make sure I get his home number from his sober drinking partners, Hur said. You can struggle with a drunken man for half an hour, pleading and shaking him, but he wouldnt stir, and you are stuck with him in a forest of apartment blocks well past midnight, wasting time that you could use to get more orders. But when his wife comes out and says two words, Wake up! and I am not making this up he comes right around.

Some orders take Hur outside Seoul to places where there is no public transportation or where it has stopped running for the night, complicating his journey back to the capital. You walk and run to reach a gas station or a toll gate, he said. There, you hitch a ride on a truck bound for Seoul. You constantly think how fast and cheaply you can return to Seoul to get another order.

He said he sometimes spent time at a 24-hour cafe, waiting for bus service to resume at 5 a.m. About 80 percent of the passengers on the first bus bound for Seoul are replacement drivers, he said. We recognize each other by how weary we look.

Hur starts his evening by traveling to an underground bookstore plaza at the bustling Chongno subway station in central Seoul, where he waits with a dozen other drivers to receive their companies orders.

When they come, the orders usually include the customers cellphone number, which Hur calls to locate him. You take a taxi and run, only to find that your customer had called more than one company and already took off with the one who got to him first, Hur said. This is the most frustrating. I am always in a rush.

Many replacement drivers are part-timers,
