JAKARTA - The act of harassment by making indecent words by online taxi driver Toyota Avanza black with the number B 2097 BKX began when the victim felt aggrieved because the perpetrator was reckless during the trip to take passengers. The incident took place in Pademangan, North Jakarta on Friday night (28/6/2024).

"Initially I ordered a gocar at Mangga Besar Station, the driver's position from the Lokasi direction to Husada Mangga Besar Hospital. After a few minutes the driver arrived, the two of me got into the car with the car window open and the air condition was not on," said the victim with the initials P to VOI, Sunday, June 30.

Then after the car passed Husada Hospital, the driver just turned on his car's air conditioner. However, the gocar driver driving the car recklessly makes passengers uncomfortable.

"It is very dangerous for passengers and the face that has made them uncomfortable. Until I met the industrial railroad tracks, my colleague told me to turn left past the grand orchard towards pademangan. But the driver's response was straightforward and told him that he knew the way," he said.

The victim and his partner then chose to remain silent because the perpetrator admitted that they knew the road. However, until the intersection of alley 32 Pademangan, the online taxi driver returned to the wrong path.

"My friend reminded me that this driver was wrong because he should have turned left, but instead the driver grumbled again and resigned a little bit, and he was still recklessly carrying his car," he said.

The driver continued to complain about various reasons for the narrow road and so on to the female passenger.

"Even though the destination location is a complex that can be accessed by 2 cars and can turn around safely and easily," he said.

As the online taxi approached its destination and the victim was about to get out of the car, the victim closed the car door slightly hard.

However, the perpetrator did not accept it and became the reason for making indecent words and harassing the victim.

"Driver didn't accept it and then got out of the car reprimanded me and insulted me that I couldn't afford it, prostitutes, insulted my genitals, and so on like the one in the video. In my opinion, that's already another thing. Because I have been harassed non-verbally and very unethically," he said.

The victim will then take legal action by reporting the perpetrator's actions against him to the nearest Polsek.

The reason is, the perpetrator was recorded as throwing sentences of harassment against female victims who were none other than the passengers themselves.

"It has been reported to Gojek. It has been suspended and will be followed up," he concluded.

In the amateur video footage at the time of the incident, an online taxi driver was seen dressed in a black t-shirt and trousers getting out of his car while insulting female taxi passenger online.

"So you're just a prostitute, do you want me to make a raid? If you're looking for me, I'm in Mangga Besar Tongkrongannye. Do you want me to make a rame?" said the perpetrator who actually challenged local residents in a video recording seen by VOI on Sunday, June 30.
