When asked about his favorite character this season, Bae Yu-ram picked Hogu Do-gi, played by Lee Je-hoon. He told OSEN, "Among the characters in Kim Do-gi's career, 'Hogu Do-gi' was the most memorable. Since I didn't have a chance to act with Hogu Do-gi in the script, I saw actor Lee Je-hoon portray it on screen and it was really fun."

Bae Yu-ram said that filming the scene where Chief Park chops off his hair and rejoins the military was something he won't forget.

He told The Chosun Daily, "First of all, I'd like to thank the director and writer. I never thought I'd ever wear a digital military uniform in my life. (Laughs) I felt a little awkward, and at first I thought it was a joke. But the Rainbow Transport members encouraged me to be more sincere, so I decided to boldly cut it."

Bae noted about his character in "Taxi Driver 3," "This season, we focused on the natural transition between seriousness and comedy. We took great care to bring out the details within that transition. If you haven't seen it yet and are planning to binge-watch, I hope you enjoy this aspect."

Looking back on his acting, Bae Yu-ram added, "Personally, up until Season 1, I felt more nervous than comfortable wherever I went. But after filming Season 1, I felt more confident and believed in myself, so I felt more at ease. I felt like I was growing as a person and as an actor, and that's why I'm so grateful for the 'Taxi Driver' series."

When asked what the show means to him, he said jokingly, "Since it is a mechanic's role, I would like to define it as 'lubricant'."

Bae Yu-ram ended the interview with a message to the fans, The Chosun Daily reported: "Thank you again for your love for the 'Model Taxi' series for six years. No one knows if the series will continue or conclude, but I don't believe this is the end of the Rainbow Taxi crew. Like 'Model Taxi,' which exists somewhere, even though its location is unknown, I will work even harder to become Bae Yu-ram, an actor who is always by your side. This was Manager Park. This is the end of the series."
