NewzEconomist Heru Sutadi from the University of Indonesia has urged the government to establish a comprehensive business ecosystem to support online motorcycle taxi drivers (ojol) if they are officially reclassified as micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). This proposal follows ongoing discussions regarding the legal status of gig workers in the transportation sector.
