Hundreds of taxi and delivery drivers across several cities in Indonesia held protests to demand better pay. The demonstrations highlighted concerns over low wages within the ride-hailing and food delivery sectors, impacting major operators in the country.
In addition to wage demands, the protesting drivers also expressed opposition to a planned merger between Indonesia's largest tech company, GoTo, and Grab. This opposition adds a new layer of complexity to any potential consolidation efforts between the two companies.
The protests underscore potential operational challenges and regulatory pressures related to driver welfare and compensation. Such actions could lead to increased scrutiny from authorities and potentially impact the operating models and profitability of ride-hailing platforms in the region.
