Kuda Biru Project Embraces Online Motorcycle Taxi Drivers

The Kuda Biru Project, a moral and humanitarian movement initiated by Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), has once again demonstrated concrete action within the community. The movement originated from the auction of a painting by Indonesia’s 6th President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), which fetched Rp6.5 billion. All proceeds were dedicated to various social causes. After targeting underprivileged families and children in orphanages, the Kuda Biru Project has now embraced online motorcycle taxi (ojol) drivers. The cross-cultural, interfaith, and intergenerational movement gave special appreciation for the dedication of ojol drivers in serving the daily mobility needs of the public. Chair of the Kuda Biru Project, Merry Riana, stressed that the movement’s mission goes beyond merely providing material assistance. “The Kuda Biru Project does not only want to give aid. We also want to give attention, foster togetherness, share happiness, and create experiences that can be enjoyed together,” said Merry in an official statement on Wednesday (15/7). As a form of this togetherness, the Kuda Biru Project held a public viewing event for the 2026 World Cup semi-final between France and Spain. The event, which took place in the East Parking area of Gelora Bung Karno (GBK), Jakarta, in the early hours, was attended by hundreds of ojol drivers and the Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure, AHY. AHY’s presence among the crowd was met with great enthusiasm. The atmosphere became more relaxed as he mingled, sang together, and held a mini-game session with footballs as prizes. Beyond the entertainment, the Kuda Biru Project also distributed basic food packages and financial assistance to all ojol drivers in attendance. The event was further enlivened by a lucky draw offering various attractive prizes, while participants enjoyed the food and drinks provided. Merry Riana concluded the event with a strong message about the essence of the movement, stating that care must not stop at words, but must be put into action and felt by the community.
