        "summary": "The Indonesian government's new regulation limiting ride-hailing app commissions to 8% has been welcomed by industry players. Jo-Jek Josal, which already applies a 10% commission, sees the policy as a chance to push for greater commitment to driver welfare. The move is expected to shift competition among platforms towards better protection and benefits for drivers.",
        "content": "<p>The government\u2019s decision to set a revenue-sharing scheme of 92% for\ndriver partners and 8% for application companies has been appreciated by\nplayers in the online transport industry. However, this policy is also\nseen as a momentum to evaluate the commitment of app operators to the\nwelfare of driver partners. Jo-Jek Josal Division Head Simon Julius said\nhis party welcomed the government\u2019s decision regarding limiting\napplication deductions to 8%. According to him, the policy is in line\nwith the spirit of improving the welfare of online transport drivers.\nEven so, Simon emphasised that Jo-Jek Josal had previously implemented a\nrevenue-sharing system that he claims favours partners. For almost the\nlast two years, the company has imposed a fixed commission scheme of 10%\nfor the application, while 90% of income is directly received by driver\npartners. \u2018For almost two years we have implemented a flat scheme of 10%\nfor the application and 90% for driver partners. We run it clearly,\nfirmly, without drama. That is our commitment to improving driver\nwelfare,\u2019 Simon said on Friday (26\/6\/2026). Simon also highlighted the\nsteps of several other app operators who are only now implementing a\nrevenue-sharing scheme in accordance with government regulations.\nAccording to him, this policy should have been implemented long ago\nconsidering the large contribution of drivers in supporting online\ntransport service operations. \u2018If they are only now implementing the\n8:92 scheme, the question arises, where were they before? They are only\nnow realising that drivers are also human beings who must meet the needs\nof their families, children, and wives,\u2019 he said. He hopes the\ngovernment policy will not just become an administrative rule, but will\nalso encourage all application companies to build a fairer and more\nsustainable ecosystem for driver partners. According to Simon, driver\nwelfare is an important factor in maintaining the quality of online\ntransport services. Therefore, he invited all industry players to place\nthe interests of partners as a major part of business growth, not just a\ncomplement in the digital business model. With the implementation of the\nnew revenue-sharing scheme, Simon hopes that future competition between\nplatforms will not only focus on the number of users and services, but\nalso on a real commitment to providing protection and welfare for driver\npartners.<\/p>",
