Online Driver Coalition Applauds President's 8% App Fee Cap
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The National Online Taxi Driver Coalition (KON), alongside the 98 Resolution Network, has expressed its appreciation to President Prabowo Subianto for the issuance of Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 27 of 2026 concerning the Protection of Online Transport Workers.
The regulation includes provisions to reduce application commission fees to a maximum of 8 per cent, effective from 1 July 2026, which is viewed as a move to strengthen legal certainty and protection for online transport driver partners.
The National Online Taxi Driver Coalition and the 98 Resolution Network conveyed their appreciation for the implementation of Presidential Regulation Number 27 of 202lag regarding the Protection of Online Transport Workers.
The Chairman of the National Online Taxi Driver Coalition, Andi Kristiyanto, stated that the regulation is a significant step by the state in providing legal certainty and better protection for millions of online transport workers in Indonesia.
“For years, online transport driver partners have carried out their work amidst the uncertainty of partnership relations, a lack of social protection, and various applicator policies that are often deemed detrimental to drivers,” Andi said in a written statement on Tuesday.
“Therefore, the arrival of Presidential Regulation Number 27 of 2026 serves as an important momentum in building an online transport ecosystem that is fairer, more sustainable, and favours driver partners,” he added.
The National Online Taxi Driver Coalition also extended its appreciation to President Prabowo Subianto and all parties who contributed to the drafting of the regulation, including the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, who played an active role in pushing for the policy to reduce application commissions to a maximum of 8 per cent, effective 1 July 2026.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the 98 Resolution Network, Poltak Agustinus Sinaga, added that the success of the Presidential Regulation would be determined not only by the creation of the regulation but also by consistent implementation that favours online transport workers as partners to the applicators.
“There is an important note we wish to convey on this occasion, which is the hope that the government remains committed to maintaining the partnership ecosystem between applicators and online taxi drivers,” Poltak stated.
