Thousands of online riders are set to take to the streets of Jakarta on Wednesday (Sep 17) as they demand the resignation of Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi, in the first major protest since Indonesia President Prabowo Subianto reshuffled his Cabinet last week.
About 2,000 to 5,000 ride-hailing riders – who are part of at least two gig worker groups – are expected at the protests aimed also at demanding the creation of laws that would protect their interests in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
This includes advocating to reduce the amount of commission that can be taken by ride-hailing platforms used by them.
