Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. President Prabowo Subianto has urged ride-hailing companies to provide Idul Fitri holiday bonuses, better known locally as  THR, in cash to their driver and courier partners, acknowledging their critical role in Indonesia’s transport and logistics sector.

“The government calls on app-based transport companies to grant holiday bonuses to online drivers and couriers, considering their work activity,” he said at a press conference on Monday (10/3/2025).

Currently, around 250,000 full-time and 1-1.5 million part-time drivers and couriers operate in Indonesia. The government has secured commitments from Gojek and Grab CEOs to provide THR, with further details to be finalized by the Ministry of Manpower.

President Prabowo said that he expected this initiative will allow drivers and couriers to enjoy a better holiday. The move came after repeated demands from driver communities advocating for fair compensation.
