The four demands include; the ride-hailing companies should keep their promises, refuses the notion of changing app companies as legit transportation companies, against the exploitation of online taxi drivers, and disavows online taxi business monopoly.
“Both online motorcycle taxi (ojek) and taxi drivers alike are present in today’s rally,” said Dedi when Tempo reached him today, Sept. 12.
The South Jakarta Police Deputy Chief Adj. Comm. Budi Sartono said the police has mobilized 300 police personnel to secure the rally held by a number of online taxi drivers.
