Menhub: 8% Ojol Commission Cut Only for Two Wheels

Indonesian Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi has clarified that the 8% commission cap for online motorcycle taxis (ojol) currently applies exclusively to two-wheeled services. This policy does not yet extend to four-wheeled ride-hailing services, as the government prioritizes regulating the larger two-wheeled sector.

“

Now this (8% commission cap) is focused on two wheels because indeed many users and online motorcycle taxi drivers are on two wheels.

Purwagandhi explained that the focus on two-wheeled services is due to their significantly larger user base and driver population. He noted that the regulation for four-wheeled services falls under different jurisdictional frameworks. In the Jabodetabek region, the Ministry of Transportation oversees these services, while other areas are regulated by provincial governments.

“

There is indeed a request from the operators for the regulations for four wheels to be centralized. But we must talk with the related stakeholders, not only the operators but also the regional governments.

Ride-hailing operators have proposed centralizing the regulations for four-wheeled vehicles to ensure uniform application across Indonesia. However, Purwagandhi emphasized that this proposal requires further discussion with all stakeholders, including regional governments, to accommodate various interests before any decision is made.

“

Oh no (not a trial), it will be implemented directly on July 1, we will see what the reaction will be like.

The Ministry of Transportation is currently concentrating on finalizing the commission regulations for two-wheeled ojol as an initial step to strengthen regulatory certainty in the app-based transportation sector. The policy, capping commissions at a maximum of 8%, is scheduled to be implemented starting July 1, 2026. President Prabowo Subianto had previously announced this adjustment on May 1, 2026, as part of efforts to improve the welfare of online transportation drivers.

I say here, I don't agree with 10 percent, it must be below 10 percent.
