JAKARTA – PT Blue Bird Tbk (BIRD) booked revenue of Rp2.97 trillion in the first half of 2026, growing 11.3 per cent compared with the same period last year. The growth was supported by positive performance across its various business lines, in line with rising public mobility needs.

Beyond recording revenue growth, Bluebird posted EBITDA of Rp714 billion and net profit of Rp323.8 billion in the first half of 2026.

President Director of PT Blue Bird Tbk, Andre Djokosoetono, said the company managed to sustain growth amid global uncertainty marked by geopolitical dynamics, rising energy and operational costs, rupiah exchange rate volatility, and increasingly competitive industry rivalry.

“We believe Bluebird’s strength lies in its ability to deliver a range of complementary mobility solutions. That is why we will continue to strengthen investment in each business line, improve operational quality and human resource development to ensure sustainable growth and deliver long-term value to customers,” Andre said in a written statement on Monday (4/8).

Taxi services remained the largest contributor to the company’s revenue, accounting for around 69 per cent of total revenue, or 11.4 per cent growth compared with the first half of 2025. Meanwhile, non-taxi services, which include shuttle, rental, bus and other mobility services, contributed around 31 per cent of total revenue.

Among the non-taxi business lines, Cititrans was the fastest-growing business unit in the first half of 2026. Its performance was driven by an increased fleet size, optimisation of travel routes, and high public mobility during the school holiday period.

Meanwhile, bus services through Bigbird maintained solid growth thanks to rising demand from the corporate segment and group travel. The rental business also continued to grow, supported by stable demand from corporate customers.

Bluebird also continues to optimise fleet lifecycle management through the sale of ex-operational vehicles that have been reconditioned to company standards. This step is considered capable of maximising asset value whilst meeting strong demand for quality used vehicles.

In line with business development, the company also continues to run various programmes to improve competence, appreciation and welfare for drivers and employees as part of efforts to maintain service quality for customers.

Entering the second half of 2026, Andre said Bluebird will continue to strengthen its service portfolio, improve fleet productivity and maintain operational discipline to sustain business growth.

“We will continue to strengthen our portfolio with new services, improve fleet productivity and run operations in a disciplined manner so we can keep delivering services that are relevant to customers’ needs,” Andre said.
