-- The Indonesian government is planning to increase the revenue share of driver partners at ride-hailing companies to at least 92% from 80%, Reuters reported May 1, citing President Prabowo Subianto.
The move will reportedly materialize by cutting companies' commission per ride obtained from drivers to 8% from 20%.
Prabowo signed a presidential regulation for the new commission cap but did not specify when it would become effective, according to the report.
The ride-hailing firms will also be mandated to provide accident and health insurance to their drivers, the report said.
