8% Ojol Commission Cut Takes Effect 1 July Without Trial Period

Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi has confirmed that the rule limiting the commission for online motorcycle taxis (ojol) to 8% will come into effect on 1 July 2026. President Prabowo Subianto had previously announced the commission adjustment on 1 May 2026. “Oh no, it will be implemented directly on 1 July,” the Minister stated when confirmed in Jakarta on Saturday (27/6). He requested that all application providers prepare implementation measures so the new provisions can be applied on schedule. The decision, he added, was agreed upon between the application providers and the leadership of the House of Representatives (DPR) that the enforcement of the maximum 8% commission would begin on 1 July. The application providers, he stressed, have declared their commitment to supporting the government’s policy during meetings with the DPR and the Ministry of Transportation over recent periods. The Minister also noted that the Director General of Land Transportation, Aan Suhanan, has held several discussions with the application providers. The change to an 8% commission for ojol does not require new derivative regulations. The provision, he explained, is already regulated in the Minister of Transportation Decree Number KP No. 1001 of 2022 concerning Guidelines for Calculating Service Fees for the Use of Motorcycles Used for Public Interest Conducted through Applications. The Ministry of Transportation is revising the provision regarding the maximum commission limit, which previously reached 20%, to become a maximum of 8% in accordance with President Prabowo Subianto’s policy. “The 8% commission means we will revise the commission provision which originally stated a maximum of 20%. That was 15% plus 5%, we are revising it to a maximum of 8%,” he explained.
