Rapid technology developments have enabled society to use the internet for various activities, many new and novel. From shopping, obtaining information, social media, and many others, the range of new online services continues to multiply. One of the most recent and popular developments is using smartphones to order motorcycle transport, commonly known as an ojek.This form of transportation is particularly popular in Jakarta, due to the capital city’s notorious traffic jams. Recently when ojek services debuted on the online world, the public applauded this innovation, particularly as it makes it easier to access an ojek without having to negotiate the price.
Despite praise from the public, the government remains silent on its position regarding ojeks, especially the ones using the online platform such as Gojek and GrabBike.
Djoko Sasono, Director General of Land Transportation, stated that the government is currently monitoring the situation, and will also gather input from the community. Mr. Sasono hopes some preliminary research can be conducted soon because online ojek services cover not only technology, but also transportation.
“We will gather feedback, and see the results of the preliminary study,” said Mr. Sasono in Jakarta on Monday.
Transportation experts, on the other hand, are looking at this from a different perspective. Djoko Setijowarno, an expert from Atmajaya Catholic University, said that the Traffic Law does not classify motorcycles as public transportation.
“Motorcycles are not built for main roads. In many developed countries, they’re using electric bikes that don’t have quick acceleration,” explained Mr. Setijowarno.
