JAKARTA - Good news envelops the online transportation industry in the country. The Association of Ojol Drivers of the Indonesian Guard officially expressed its support for the government's strategic steps involving the Danantara Investment Management Agency (BPI) in the online motorcycle taxi (ojol) ecosystem.
This step follows the signing of Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 27 of 2026 concerning the Protection of Online Transportation Drivers by President Prabowo Subianto on the May Day momentum, May 1, 2026.
Commission restructuring: 92% for Drivers, 8% for Applicators
The Chairman of the Indonesian Guard, Igun Wicaksono, emphasized that this regulation is a milestone for digital economic justice in Indonesia. One of the crucial points in the Presidential Decree is the establishment of a revolutionary revenue sharing scheme.
Driver's share: 92% of revenue. Applicator's share: Maximum 8%."This is a redefinition of a more equitable partnership relationship. The state is now actively intervening to correct the inequality that has occurred between the applier and the driver," Igun said in an official statement in Jakarta (04/05/2026).
Strategic Role of BPI Danantara in the Ojol Ecosystem
The involvement of BPI Danantara which took over a portion of the shares of the applicator company is seen as an instrument of national stability. According to the Indonesian National Guard, the presence of the state as a shareholder provides two main advantages:
Economic Sovereignty: Keeping this industry, which involves millions of lives, under the supervision of the state. Risk Mitigation: If there is an operational disruption in the applicator, the government has direct capacity to maintain the sustainability of the service."The state is no longer passive. Danantara's entry ensures that the interests of drivers and consumers are protected from systemic industry risks," added Igun.
Responding to Driver Concerns: Partner Status and Fuel Subsidies
Responding to concerns about the potential for "hidden costs" due to the reduction in the commission of the applier, the Indonesian National Guard asked drivers to remain calm and objective.
Garda emphasizes that this policy actually strengthens the driver's position as a Strategic Partner, not a subordinate. With this status, drivers are still entitled to:
Social Protection: Health and employment security regulated by the state. Access to Subsidies: Remain integrated in the SME category so that they continue to have access to subsidies, including fuel.Macroeconomically, the increase in driver income is predicted to strengthen people's purchasing power. This is believed to have a positive domino effect on the MSME sector, which has been relying on the online transportation ecosystem.
The Indonesian National Guard invites all stakeholders - from applicators, drivers, to the wider community - to accompany this major transformation in order to realize sustainable prosperity in the Indonesian digital transportation sector.
