JAKARTA - Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya received a meeting with the CEO of PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk Hans Patuwo to coordinate ensuring policies that favor online drivers (online taxi/ojol) while maintaining business sustainability.
The Secretary of the Cabinet, Teddy, received the CEO of GoTo at the Cabinet Secretariat on Friday evening (22/5) and discussed a number of inputs.
"Currently, the government and business actors continue to coordinate to find the best solution that benefits drivers, while maintaining the sustainability of the business ecosystem so that it remains healthy and develops," said the Deputy Head of the Secretariat, as quoted by ANTARA.
He said Gojek in the meeting conveyed its commitment to support President Prabowo Subianto's policy to increase driver income from the previous 80 percent to 92 percent of total transactions.
Gojek currently has around 800 thousand to 1 million active drivers across Indonesia. Since it first started operating, the number of drivers who have joined has reached 3 million people, both active, part-time and no longer driving.
"The President emphasized that the improvement of the welfare of online drivers must go hand in hand with the continuation of fair and sustainable business, where the appraiser must still obtain a reasonable and increasing profit from the business," he said.
Previously, in a statement on Tuesday (19/5), Gojek stated that it would remove the GoRide Hemat subscription service program for driver partners.
Hans said the decision was the company's step in adapting Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 27 of 2026 regarding the reduction of driver partner income.
President Prabowo Subianto has signed Presidential Regulation Number 27 of 2026 concerning the Protection of Online Transportation Workers, one of whose points regulates the distribution of income between the appraiser and the driver.
This was announced by the President when attending the International Labor Day commemoration at the National Monument on May 1, 2026.
