The fate of OJOL on the 80th anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia: There may be RP. 300 thousand to only two orders

Jakarta -The long holiday of the 80th anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia has a different impact on the online motorcycle -taxi drivers (OJOL). In the old city area, Western Jakarta, there are drivers who claim to be flooded with orders, but not a few who actually complain of quiet passengers. Dede, 30, said one of the Ojol drivers he was grateful, because since the morning the order has been pretty smooth. He even earns an income of about 300 thousand until afternoon. “If I’m not bad today. Not as busy as a working day, but it can still continue,” said Dede Monday (8/18/2025) in the old urban area, West Jakarta. Browse to continue with the content, as many residents travel to places such as the old city to Gelora Bung Karno (GBK), and the order of the passenger commuter and food is still flowing. “This morning I took the passengers to the old city, and then there was an order to GBK. Then I returned to Kotu. The direction of the tourist attractions was still pressure,” he said. “As long as it’s not raining, I’m going to the night,” he said. Unlike Dede, Rizky, 27, claimed to have been silent orders since the morning. He complained that he only got two orders until late afternoon. “Honestly lonely. From the morning I only got two orders. Usually the normal day on this hour is all five or six orders,” says Rizky. He said holidays like this were quite a dilemma. Although the streets are filled with holiday residents, many of them use private vehicles and do not use Ojol services. “For long holidays, many are on vacation outside the city or bring their own vehicles so that the Ojol order decreases,” he continued. Because it was quiet in the office area where he hung earlier, Rizky chose to try his happiness in the old city, hoping that the number of tourists could bring passengers. But even in tourist attractions, he still had to compete with many other managers. “That’s why I moved here (Old City), just times I got a lot of orders. But here there are also many drivers piled up. There are many opponents,” he added. (Call/AIK)
