A demonstration was held by the online motorcycle taxi driver community in front of the Parliament building.

Online motorcycle taxi drivers' demonstration at the Parliament, demand Transportation Minister's removal and urge Police Chief

The drivers presented six demands to the Parliament for improving transportation in Indonesia.

Most demands related to unfair online transportation regulations, but there were also demands to remove Transportation Minister Dudy Purwaghandi and urge Police General Listyo Sigit Prabowo to resolve the case of the late Affan Kurniawan.

The crowd gathered at the Parliament building around 10:00 AM. Although it was claimed that thousands would attend, the number of drivers at the Parliament did not overcrowd the gates.

Heavy rain occurred during the protest, but the crowd remained gathered.

One demonstration coordinator shouted.

“Sir, please meet with us. We’re getting cold,” he said. Shortly after, demonstration representatives were permitted to meet with several Parliament members.

It was conveyed that some representatives of the driver community were received by members of Commission V.

“There was also Bang Dasco who met with them,” he said.

The crowd definitely had several demands.

Namely: Online Transportation Bill included in the 2025-2026 National Legislation Program, maximum application commission of 10% fixed price, regulations for goods and food delivery rates, investigative audit of the 5% application commission, elimination of the Aceng system, Slot, Multi Order, and Paid Membership systems, removal of the Transportation Minister, and demanding thorough investigation of the August 28, 2025 tragedy. “He tends to side with application providers, what benefit does the Transportation Minister provide,” he explained.

He also requested a thorough investigation of the August 28 tragedy, which not only claimed Affan Kurniawan’s life. “We request all of this be opened transparently,” he clarified.

After meeting with Parliament, he stated that all demands of the demonstrating drivers had been heard by President Prabowo Subianto. “Trust the President, all our demands have been heard,” he elaborated.

Parliament building

The Parliament building, often called the Houses of Parliament or the Palace of Westminster, is the seat of the UK government in London. Its most famous structure, the clock tower housing Big Ben, was largely rebuilt in the mid-19th century following a devastating fire. The site has been a center of political power for centuries, with its history stretching back to the medieval period.

Commission V

I am unable to provide a summary for “Commission V” as it does not appear to be a widely recognized place, cultural site, or historical entity. The term could refer to a specific committee or project within a particular organization, but without more context, its history and significance cannot be accurately determined.

National Legislation Program

The National Legislation Program is a strategic planning mechanism used by governments to outline and prioritize proposed laws for parliamentary consideration. It typically reflects the ruling party’s policy agenda and is updated annually or per legislative session. This programmatic approach to lawmaking aims to create predictability and efficiency in the legislative process.

Aceng system

I am not familiar with a cultural site or system known as “Aceng.” This term does not correspond to a widely recognized historical place or cultural institution. You may want to verify the spelling or provide more context for an accurate summary.

Slot system

The term “slot system” does not refer to a specific place or cultural site. It is a general concept used to describe a method of organizing, scheduling, or allocating resources, people, or time into designated slots or periods.

Multi Order system

I am unable to provide a summary for “Multi Order system” as it does not appear to refer to a specific place or cultural site. The term is most commonly used in business and computing to describe a type of inventory or sales management process, rather than a physical location with a history.

Paid Membership system

The Paid Membership system is a modern business model rather than a traditional place or cultural site. It originated in the late 20th century with the rise of subscription services for exclusive clubs, publications, and later, digital platforms. This system provides members with special access, content, or privileges in exchange for a recurring fee.

August 28, 2025 tragedy

I am not aware of a significant cultural site or historical event known as the “August 28, 2025 tragedy.” This appears to refer to a future date, and as such, no history or established cultural significance for it currently exists. Please verify the name or provide more context for an accurate summary.
