The Transportation Ministry will include ride-hailing motorcycles in the draft revision of Law No. 22/2009 on road traffic and transportation, covering two-wheeled passenger transportation, as well as motorcycle-based delivery of goods and food, with deliberations targeted for completion this year.
The Indonesian government plans to classify ride-hailing motorcycle services as public transportation, as part of a revision to Law No. 22/2009 on road traffic and transportation. This move aims to provide a clearer legal framework for these services, which have been growing rapidly without specific regulation. The draft amendment will also cover motorcycle-based delivery of goods and food, with deliberations expected to be finalized this year.
Transportation Minister Dudy Purwagandhi emphasized the need for adequate regulation to prevent disputes and maintain road safety. The proposed changes follow the recent issuance of Presidential Regulation No. 27/2026, which covers fare structures, delivery fees, and driver partnerships, though its details are not yet publicly available.
