Overview

• Drivers from multiple platforms, including Grab and Gojek, staged a nationwide 24-hour strike on May 20, disrupting ride-hailing and delivery services across Indonesia.
• Protesters are demanding a 10% cap on platform commissions, the removal of discounted ride programs, and regulated delivery service pricing.
• The strike also opposes a proposed Grab-Gojek merger, which drivers fear could create a near-monopoly, suppress earnings, and lead to layoffs.
• Transportation Minister Dudy Purwagandhi confirmed the government is reviewing commission regulations, which drivers claim are inconsistently enforced.
• Jakarta police deployed over 2,500 personnel to secure protest sites, as demonstrations spread to major cities like Yogyakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung.
