Indonesia plans new rules for ride-hailing and delivery services
Indonesia is preparing changes to its road transport law to cover transport services booked through apps.
The proposed rules include motorcycle passenger rides, special rental transport, and delivery of goods and food.
The law is being revised because existing rules need to account for the growth of online transport services.
The government says the changes would set safety requirements, including vehicle checks, safety equipment and driver training.
App companies would be encouraged to ensure partner drivers’ vehicles meet those requirements, and the proposed rules would include penalties for violations.
The revision also covers trip tracking through apps and the rights and responsibilities of app companies and drivers.
The Transport Ministry aims to complete the revision in 2026 so the rules can begin in 2027, but that timetable depends on the legislative process.
