Tuesday, December 29, 2015
THE prohibition of application-based ojeks and taxis was revoked amid public outcry and the intervention of President Joko Widodo, who called it a hastily implemented ban. Too rigid in applying regulations, Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan also made himself look uncaring to the city's dire need for proper public transportation system when he banned these popular modes of transport.
Referring to the Law No. 22/2009 on traffic and road transportation and Government Regulation No.74/ 2014 on modes of road transportation, Minister Jonan argued that online transport services were against the law. So, he sent a letter to the National Police chief on November 9 to go after Uber taxis and GO-JEK and GrabBike motorcycle taxis, also known locally as ojeks.
