Indonesia holiday travel, ojek commission & safety push

Entities: Dudy Purwagandhi · President Prabowo Subianto · Ministry of Transportation (Indonesia) · Indonesian online ride‑hailing platforms · Prabowo Subianto

Overview

The school‑holiday travel stimulus launched in early June 2026 continues to lift mobility across the archipelago. Discounted rail tickets keep daily ridership above 10,000 in West Sumatra, while weekend peaks on the Bandung corridor reach about 45,000 passengers. Toll‑road traffic on the Cikopo‑Palimanan corridor remains roughly 40 % above normal, and hotel occupancy under the “School’s Almost In, Holiday’s Still On” campaign hovers near 49 %.

Transport‑price subsidies total Rp 1.54 trillion, covering 30 % cuts on economy‑class train tickets, basic ship fares and free port‑service fees for ferries, plus a VAT‑free period for domestic economy‑class air tickets. Ferry operators have waived up to 100 % of port service fees on seven major routes, and ASDP Indonesia Ferry has added comfort facilities and digital ticketing while apologising for severe congestion on the Ketapang‑Gilimanuk crossing, prompting local officials to seek infrastructure upgrades.

The government’s ojek‑online reforms progressed rapidly. A Ministry of Labour press conference on 28 July confirmed the 8 % commission cap took effect on 1 July 2026, giving drivers a 92 % share of fares. Subsequent directives required platforms to explain the new fee to drivers, and the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises classified ojek drivers as micro‑enterprises, opening access to KUR loans and tax incentives.

Safety training for 1,052 two‑wheeler driver partners continued in five cities, and the same‑day earnings settlement scheme began on 1 August. Additional travel promotions—including a 30 % hotel discount by Archipelago Hotels, up‑to‑Rp 360,000 airline discounts by Pelita Air, and pay‑later travel financing by Kredivo—have reinforced demand during the holiday period.
