Indonesian gov’t vows action on ride-hailing drivers’ protest

The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) has expressed its commitment to address the concerns raised by online motorcycle taxi (ojek online) drivers during a demonstration on May 20, 2025.

Inspector General Aan Suhana, the Director General of Land Transportation, confirmed that the ministry has acknowledged the drivers’ concerns and will take action.

A primary demand from the drivers is a revision of Minister of Transportation Decree No. 1001 of 2022, which regulates service fees for motorbike services accessed via applications.

The drivers are requesting a reduction in the maximum commission taken by app operators from 20% to 10%.

Aan said that the ministry will consider this demand, citing various factors that must be assessed.
