        "content": "<p>GoTo has decided to discontinue the GoRide Hemat subscription scheme\nafter a national trial, a move welcomed by several GoRide driver\npartners who argued the programme burdened drivers and caused jealousy\namong colleagues. One driver, Hendra Susilo (35), said he fully\nsupported the removal of the scheme, deeming it ineffective for\non-the-ground drivers. According to Hendra, the scheme did not always\nbenefit drivers, even though they had paid the subscription fee. Similar\nviews were shared by another driver, Bilal (33). He said the GoRide\nHemat programme could lead to unequal treatment among drivers. Bilal\nnoted the system of trip prioritisation under the programme risked\nsouring relations between drivers. \u201cSo later we, as fellow drivers, it\u2019s\nlike pitting us against each other, as in \u2018Oh I won\u2019t join, you join,\nyou\u2019re the one who gets it.\u2019 So it can create social jealousy. After\nall, we are colleagues on the road.\u201d In addition, the subscription fee\nwas seen as an extra burden, especially when orders were slow.\nPreviously, GoTo had confirmed it would stop the GoRide Hemat\nsubscription scheme for GoJek driver partners. GoTo\u2019s Chief Executive\nHans Patuwo said the decision would take effect soon after the company\ncompleted an evaluation of the program implemented in recent months. The\nGoRide Hemat subscription scheme was initially tested on a limited basis\nsince November 2025 before being expanded nationwide to Indonesia in\nFebruary 2026. Under the scheme, driver partners were required to pay a\nsubscription fee to access certain tariffs or earnings structures,\nincluding order prioritisation. However, after three months nationwide,\nGoTo deemed the programme needed adjustments to maintain balance and the\nwelfare of driver partners. \u201cAfter three months, we conducted a thorough\nstudy and found that this subscription scheme needs a better balance for\nthe welfare of driver partners,\u201d Hans told a press conference at the\nGoTo office, Jakarta, on Tuesday, 19 May 2026. With the termination of\nthe subscription scheme, the revenue-sharing mechanism for GoRide Hemat\nwill be aligned with GoRide\u2019s regular service. Going forward, driver\npartners will incur an 8 per cent deduction per trip.<\/p>",
