JAKARTA - Member of Commission V DPR RI from the PDIP faction, Adian Napitupulu, has pushed the limitation of tariff cuts by online transportation applicators to a maximum of 10 percent as part of the long-term responsibility to ensure the future of the drivers' families.

"Our struggle to push the applicator commission to 10 percent is actually not a struggle for gifts or for us only today."

"This is a struggle for the future of the drivers' children," Adian said in a statement received in Jakarta, Saturday, May 3, 2025, as reported by Antara.

Adian conveyed this in response to complaints from online motorcycle taxi drivers (ojol) who asked for a cut in the applicator to be reduced to 10 percent. The drivers, he said, admitted that they were burdened by pieces from the applicator, which even reached 30 percent.

Online-based drivers or transportation drivers hope that the Government and the Indonesian House of Representatives will seek their demands to be used as a regulation so that applicators must comply.

As a member of Commission V of the DPR in charge of infrastructure and development affairs, Adian admitted that he was concerned that there were parties who began to abandon the spirit of struggle related to the aspirations of ojol drivers.

"If anyone betrays this struggle, it is not me who betrayed, not you. Those who are betrayed are their own children," he said.

He also emphasized that the struggle to defend the welfare of ojol drivers is directly related to the welfare of millions of Indonesian families.

"If the hammer in Commission V is knocked for 10 percent, at least 20 million people can live more prosperously. So, where is the problem?" said Adian.

He highlighted the political challenges that must be faced in parliament. The initial stage, according to him, convinced 48 members of Commission V to make this decision.

Adian ensured that he would continue to fight for this policy to become a formal regulation.

"My struggle is a political struggle. Political struggle means fighting for this to become a policy regulation. That's it," he said.
