Grab Halts Economy Access Subscription for GraBike, Here’s the Impact on Users

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Grab Indonesia has announced it will close the Economy Access Subscription Program for two-wheeled driver partners (GrabBike).

Grab Indonesia CEO Neneng Goenadi explained that the closure of the subscription program is necessary to achieve better alignment.

‘Closing the subscription program is also intended to create a sustainable ecosystem for all parties,’ she said in a written statement received by CNBC Indonesia on Wednesday, 20 May 2026.

She assured that the GrabBike Hemat service remains available to consumers, but with fee adjustments that continue to prioritise affordability for the public.

‘To date, for GrabBike Standard service users, Grab Indonesia confirms there will be no price increase,’ Neneng said.

In addition, Grab Indonesia is coordinating with the government and all stakeholders to ensure that the implementation of Presidential Regulation No. 27 of 2026 for two-wheeled transportation driver partners (GrabBike) will run smoothly.

Gojek Drops GoRide Hemat Subscription

The same step was taken by Gojek, which decided to terminate the subscription scheme for GoRide Hemat drivers.

After operating for about three months, the company conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the program’s implementation.

From the study results, the company concluded that the subscription scheme needed a better balance for the welfare of the driver partners.

Therefore, Gojek decided to terminate the subscription program in the near future. Going forward, GoRide Hemat will use an 8% revenue-sharing mechanism, the same as the GoRide regular service.

The changes to the scheme will impact consumer tariffs, particularly for the GoRide Hemat service. Nevertheless, the company assures that tariff increases will be limited and will continue to consider the public purchasing power.
