Seven Demands Fuel Jakarta’s Mass Ojol Strike This Week

Arcadiadaily – Seven Demands Fuel Jakarta’s mass ojol strike this week as thousands of online motorcycle taxi drivers prepare to suspend operations in protest. The action, coordinated by the drivers’ association Garda Indonesia, is scheduled for Wednesday, September 17, 2025, and will coincide with demonstrations in front of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), the Ministry of Transportation, and the Presidential Palace. According to Garda Indonesia Chairman Raden Igun Wicaksono, participating drivers will turn off their apps simultaneously as a show of solidarity. Jakarta residents should prepare alternative modes of transportation, as the strike will disrupt online ride-hailing services across the capital.

A Unified Protest with Seven Key Demands

Seven Demands Fuel the demonstration, and organizers dubbed it “179 Ojol” in reference to its planned date. Organizers estimate between 2,000 and 5,000 drivers from multiple regions will join the movement. Their demands include: ensuring that the Online Transportation Bill (RUU Transportasi Online) enters the 2025–2026 National Legislation Program. Setting a fixed 10 percent maximum commission rate for app companies; regulating delivery tariffs for food and goods. Conducting a full audit of the additional 5 percent deduction drivers claim has been unfairly collected. Abolishing controversial systems such as Aceng, slot, multi-order, and paid membership schemes. Dismissing Transportation Minister Dudy Purwaghandi. And calling on the national police chief to fully investigate the August 28 tragedy involving ojol drivers.

Anticipating the Impact on the City

Seven Demands Fuel not only the drivers’ grievances. But also a broader debate over the future of online transportation in Indonesia. The strike highlights growing tensions between drivers and platform operators over revenue sharing, working conditions, and government oversight. If the planned shutdown materializes as expected, Jakarta could see significant disruptions to daily commuting, delivery services, and urban mobility. Observers note that the movement represents one of the largest coordinated actions by ride-hailing drivers in recent years and could influence future regulatory policies. For now, the city prepares to navigate a day without one of its most relied-upon forms of transport.
