Indonesian App-Based Taxi Drivers Strike in Protest Over Low Pay

TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS - JAKARTA. Over 1,000 motorcycle taxi drivers staged a strike in several Indonesian cities on Thursday to protest against low pay, and called on the government to provide more protection against what they say are unfair practices by ride-sharing companies.

Drivers wearing trademark green jackets gathered outside the communications ministry and near the Jakarta offices of Indonesia's largest technology company GoTo and Southeast Asia's biggest ride-hailing and food delivery firm Grab.
