JAKARTA - The polemic of official parking arrangement in Jakarta has not been completed. Even recently, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government plans to increase official parking rates in Jakarta with the aim of reducing the use of private vehicles.

Responding to this, Hery, an online motorcycle taxi driver (ojol) hopes that official parking rates will be cheaper so as not to burden the community.

"If you take orders for goods, for example in stores or in parking malls, the parking lots are in official places or places that have been provided by shops or malls. My advice is that official parking rates are more orderly and cheap," said Hery when contacted by VOI, Wednesday, June 9, 2025.

According to Hery, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government must also appeal to building or mall owners as well as other business places to provide special parking spaces for online motorcycle taxis, which are strategically located for vehicle parking.

"Provide compensation for parking rates for online motorcycle taxi drivers because the longest is pick up orders for goods or pick up food. Because the waiting time is quite long," he said.

He hopes that the manager of the place of business or building will provide compensation for parking in the first 1-2 hours for free.

"In the next 3 hours or hours, the tariff will be paid to make it easier for online motorcycle taxi drivers to pay parking fees," he hoped.

Hery admitted that the money received from one passenger was very small. Then, if you have to charge an expensive parking fee, the income will shrink.

"If I am an ojol, first coordinate with customers, for example, if I want to take orders from Goride/Gosend/Gofood if I enter a building, for example an apartment or mall, if there is a parking lot that is effective, just contact the customer via chat that this pick-up order enters the building and there is a parking fee. In addition, you have to take a photo of the parking receipt, usually ojol customers or consumers will change the parking fee to the application tip money," he explained.
