App Commission Capped at 8%, Ojek Online Tetanggaku Reaffirms 0% Commitment to Partners

Jakarta (ANTARA) — The app-based transport company, Ojek Online Tetanggaku, has expressed support for President Prabowo Subianto’s policy establishing a maximum app commission of 8% for online motorcycle taxi driver partners. In its official statement, the management of Ojek Online Tetanggaku described the policy as a strategic step by the government to enhance protection and welfare for driver partners amid the increasingly competitive dynamics of the online transport industry. The company reaffirmed that since the start of its operations, it has implemented a 0% commission for partners, a policy claimed to demonstrate bias towards drivers as the backbone of the service. With this new regulation, Ojek Online Tetanggaku considers the government’s policy direction to be in line with the principles it has followed thus far. “This policy serves as an important momentum to create a more equitable and sustainable online transport ecosystem,” stated Tetanggaku CEO, Bairuni. Furthermore, the company expressed its readiness to adjust operations and continue supporting the implementation of the government policy. It also hopes that this regulation can increase partner incomes and strengthen the competitiveness of the app-based transport sector in Indonesia. The app commission cap policy of up to 8% is seen as the government’s effort to maintain a balance between the interests of digital platforms and the welfare of driver partners, which has often been a focal point in digital economy practices. Ojek Online Tetanggaku added that it is committed to continuing to provide transport services that are not only efficient but also oriented towards social justice and real contributions to the national economy.
