JAKARTA - A number of online motorcycle taxi drivers (ojol) will hold a demonstration regarding the policy plan for the implementation of paid roads or ERP in Jakarta, Wednesday, January 25. They will raid the DKI Jakarta DPRD building, Jalan Kebon Sirih, Central Jakarta, to convey their rejection of the ERP implementation for motorbikes.

In a written statement received by VOI, it was stated that there was an invitation for solidarity action, the 251 predatory action sued. The invitation contains a narrative of the invitation to protest firmly without compromising the implementation of the paid electronic road in DKI Jakarta.

"United, fighting to win," wrote the call for the action invitation.

The invitation was addressed to ojol drivers and their administrators to demonstrate by wearing ojol attributes and their respective communities along with flag props.

Meanwhile, Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Komarudin confirmed the demonstration in the Kebon Sirih area.

"(There is an ojol) It's in the DKI DPRD," he said briefly.

Previously, it was reported that the plan to apply paid road rates or electronic road pricing (ERP) for motorized vehicles also applies to two-wheeled vehicles in Jakarta. Although the ERP implementation is considered to be able to reduce congestion in Jakarta, the policy is considered not to side with online motorcycle taxi drivers (ojol).

"It's difficult to make online motorcycle taxis (regulations) like that (ERP). The problem is that the ojol income is not how much, the order is not necessarily right," said Guruh, one of the ojol drivers who often hangs out in the Pondok Bambu area, East Jakarta, Wednesday, January 18.

As is known, traffic jams on the roads of the capital Jakarta are increasingly difficult to control. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government plans to implement a paid road program or electronic road pricing (ERP) in the near future.

"If it's made like that, the fall makes it difficult for the community, especially for online motorcycle taxis (ojol). There are many ojol that attract everywhere, if it's digituin, it's getting more difficult, it's just an ojol in the end," he complained.

Guruh, representing the voice of fellow ojol colleagues, admitted that he objected to the ERP plan policy in Jakarta.

"Yes, I object to that. That's one-sided. Surely if it is applied like that, ojol will definitely move, it's not possible. It doesn't agree," he said.
