PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk (GOTO) has announced it is prepared to\ncut the commission taken from driver partners for the ride-hailing\nservice to eight per cent, in line with Government Perpres No.\u00a027 of\n2026. The adjustment to the profit-sharing scheme marks a significant\nstep by the company in response to President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s\ndirective to improve the welfare of on\u2011the\u2011ground drivers.<\/p>\n
GoTo\u2019s Chief Executive Officer, Hans Patuwo, stressed the company\u2019s\ncommitment to delivering a larger share of earnings directly to drivers.\n\u2018We are committed to adjusting the profit-sharing scheme where 92 per\ncent of every GoRide journey will be the driver\u2019s share. This is a\nfairly large change for us,\u2019 Hans said at a Jakarta press conference on\nTuesday.<\/p>\n
Although the revenue adjustment is substantial, Hans described the\npolicy as a long-term investment to foster a healthier online transport\necosystem. To keep operations running smoothly, Gojek will rely on the\nstrength of its other business units to compensate for the changes.<\/p>\n
\u2018As part of the GoTo ecosystem, we have various business lines that\nsupport and continue to develop. This includes delivery, logistics,\nfinancial services, and a range of other digital offerings,\u2019 Hans added.\n\u2018The strength of the ecosystem provides a solid foundation for Gojek to\ncontinue growing, while maintaining the quality of our services. Through\nthe power of the ecosystem and ongoing innovation, we are confident we\ncan implement the adjustments effectively.\u2019<\/p>\n
On consumer pricing, the company emphasised that the commission cut\nwould not be passed on to customers. Gojek said prices for regular\nGoRide services would remain unchanged to maintain sustainable demand\nand ensure driver income remains viable. \u2018We will ensure there are no\nprice changes paid by consumers for regular GoRide services. In this\nway, we hope demand will stay steady and sustainable, and total income\nfor driver partners can improve,\u2019 Hans stated.<\/p>\n
In addition to the profit-sharing adjustment, Gojek pledged to\nstrengthen welfare programmes for drivers\u2019 families as part of\nsupporting the Asta Cita initiative on economic parity. The company is\nawaiting government technical details to enable smooth field\nimplementation. \u2018Regarding implementation details, we are still awaiting\nthe Perpres in detail. We will continue to communicate and engage with\nstakeholders throughout this process,\u2019 said Catherine Hindra Sutjahyo,\nDeputy CEO of GoTo. (E-4)<\/p>\n
