JAKARTA - The government has ensured that the Eid Bonus (BHR) for online motorcycle taxi (ojol) drivers will be disbursed again in 2026.
Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto said that the commitment to provide BHR had been discussed intensively with the applicator company.
"This Eid bonus has been carried out with intensive communication with the applicants, and thank God there is a strong commitment from the applicants who are also represented this morning," said Airlangga at the Press Conference Regarding the THR, BHR, and Eid Economic Stimulus Policy, Tuesday, March 3.
Airlangga explained that the BHR 2026 will be given to more than 850,000 driver partners with a total budget of Rp. 220 billion and this value has increased almost twofold compared to last year's realization which ranged from Rp. 105 billion to Rp. 110 billion.
The details of each applicator, namely GoTo and Grab for BHR 2026, will prepare an aggregate fund of Rp. 100 billion - Rp. 110 billion in 2026, an increase of two times compared to last year which was Rp. 50 billion.
In addition, each platform will distribute BHR to around 400 thousand partners, so that the total recipients from both of them reach around 800 thousand partners.
He detailed that the average two-wheeled vehicle driver will receive Rp150,000 per person, while four-wheeled drivers have the opportunity to earn up to Rp200,000 per person.
"Active drivers can get an average of Rp. 150,000 for two-wheelers. Four-wheelers can get up to Rp. 200,000," he explained.
In addition, Airlangga said other applicators also increased their participation, namely Maxim this year channeled BHR to around 51,000 partners, a sharp increase from around 1,000 partners the previous year. Meanwhile, inDrive also distributed BHR to around 500 driver partners.
Airlangga said the government encouraged the disbursement of BHR to be carried out early, namely at least 14 days and at most 7 days before Eid al-Fitr, so that drivers can use it to meet the needs of Lebaran.
"We encourage distribution to be carried out early, H-14 or at the latest H-7 before Eid al-Fitr," he said.
In addition, Airlangga conveyed that regarding social security protection, to date, the applicator company has facilitated driver partners to participate in the Job Accident Insurance (JKK) and Death Insurance (JKm) programs organized by BPJS Employment as a form of strengthening protection for informal sector workers.
