JAKARTA - The scheme of 92 percent for drivers and 8 percent for applicators has been in effect since the beginning of July 2026.

After walking for some time, the driver was asked not to rush to conclude the cause of the change in the order.

The statement shows the need to compare income in the period and the equivalent work pattern.

School holidays, rush hours, and waiting locations can produce different experiences between drivers.

Gustika Aviandi, a Grab partner from Jakarta, reminded fellow drivers to check official information.

He said, his experience after the new scheme was still influenced by how to manage activities in the field.

"Don't get hoax information. Try checking the notification. When we try, the effort will not betray the results," he said in Jakarta, Friday, July 17.

Meanwhile, Saidah Anwar, which operates in Jakarta, invites drivers to look at other factors beyond the commission amount.

According to him, changes in income need to be seen together with the order conditions faced by drivers.

"According to Mom, the declining income is not because of the 8 percent commission cut, but because of other factors. It just happens to be a month of school holidays," said Saidah Anwar.

Another view was expressed by Syarifudin from Jakarta. He assessed that the transition period coincided with school and college holidays, so that it did not rely on one condition when looking for orders.

"The issue of 8 percent is quieter and declining in revenue is not all true. During the transition, it happens that schools and universities are on vacation," he said.

Even though each driver's experience is different, the partners agreed to continue to adapt.

Seasonal conditions and changes in community mobility still need to be taken into account in reading income.
