JAKARTA - The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) ensures that the increase in online motorcycle taxi (ojol) rates by 8 to 15 percent is not final. Currently, the plan to increase the tariff is still in the study stage.
The Director General of Land Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation, Aan Suhanan, said that the discussion on the increase in ojol rates by 8 to 15 percent was still ongoing.
Regarding online motorcycle tariffs, we want to provide an official explanation. Because it seems as if this has been decided. This means that this is not yet a final decision, the process is still many and still long," he said at the Ministry of Transportation, Jakarta, Wednesday, July 2.
Aan emphasized that the preparation of regulations would be carried out comprehensively. All aspects will be considered so that the results can be fair. Therefore, the Ministry of Transportation will also involve independent institutions to review the plan to increase this ojol rate.
Later, continued Aan, the results of the study will be discussed together with stakeholders, including experts, economic observers, and driver-partners.
"We are full of caution in drafting this regulation because this ecosystem has been built in all communities," he said.
Previously, Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives asked the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) to immediately resolve problems involving online motorcycle taxis (ojol). Including regarding the cut in application costs to 10 percent from 20 percent.
Chairman of Commission V DPR RI Lasarus said the problem of ojol and applicators had been rolling for a long time, but until now there has not been a solution based on a win-win solution. He also asked the Ministry of Transportation to take quick steps to mediate between the two parties.
"This has been rolling for a long time, sir, we ask the government to take quick steps. Of course we from the DPR encourage, this is still a principle of win-win solutions, we must both benefit both parties," said Lasarus in a working meeting of Commission V DPR with the Ministry of Transportation, Monday, June 30.
In fact, Lasarus suggested that the Ministry of Transportation could reflect on the online transportation ecosystem implemented by other countries to overcome the problem of ojol.

Furthermore, Lasarus said that online transportation services in Indonesia do not yet have a special law (UU) as legal umbrella. This business is only regulated through a Ministerial Regulation (Permen) and a Ministerial Decree (Kepmen) which is the domain of the government, especially the Ministry of Transportation.
"It's just that our limitations in the DPR, we don't have a special law that regulates this. We are still limited to Permen, Ministerial Regulation and Ministerial Decree, which of course is the domain of the government," said Lasarus.
Kepmen dan Permen itu tidak ada ranahnya kami di sini, tapi kami sebagai wakil rakyat, Pak, meminta dan meminta berdasarkan masukan apa yang dialami oleh masyarakat. Dan selanjutnya harus rasa keadilan itu termbarang," sambungnya.
