Jakarta to Summon Building Managers, Request Dedicated Parking for Online Motorcycle Taxis

The DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) has stated it will conduct an evaluation of its enforcement against illegal parking after its action of towing online motorcycle taxi (ojol) drivers’ vehicles went viral on social media, drawing widespread criticism from netizens.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Budi Awaluddin, admitted he has coordinated with ojol drivers. The drivers are said to often struggle to find easily accessible parking spots when picking up orders at malls or office buildings. Consequently, they frequently park their vehicles in unauthorised areas.

According to him, the agency will immediately coordinate with building managers to provide dedicated spaces for ojol drivers. “We will immediately coordinate this matter and hold a meeting by inviting fellow ojol community members and operators so that this regulation can be implemented properly,” he said at Jakarta City Hall on Sunday (21/6/2026).

He acknowledged that not all buildings in Jakarta currently provide spaces for ojol drivers. Therefore, the agency will promptly communicate with building managers, as well as ojol application operators. This requirement is stipulated in the Minister of Transportation Regulation Number 12 of 2019.

“This is our priority target. As soon as possible, perhaps next week, we will invite operators and building managers to discuss the implementation of the ministerial regulation regarding dedicated parking spaces for ojol,” he said.
