Shopping activities are an integral part of daily activities for people, and the growing existence of application-based transport mode, well known as ride-sourcing, gives an additional options. Ride-sourcing is believed to change travel behaviors of travelers especially for non-mandatory trips. As a relatively new mode, it is necessary to learn more about the ride-sourcing usage characteristics for shopping trips from experience in developing countries. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of ride-sourcing for shopping activities including the users. Data was collected using questionnaire distributed to households in Bandung City, West Java, Indonesia, and analyzed by employing binary logistic regression. Data shows that even ride-sourcing is famous, ride-sourcing is used as additional mode only and not as the primary mode for travel. Estimated model shows that the number of applications owned by users provide an ability for users to select shorter waiting time. Model also shows that travel charges become the most important reason in deciding the usage of ride-sourcing. This study reveals the fact that this application based service do not change fully the travelers’ behavior.

“…Understanding Go‐Jek drivers' organizational strategies requires understanding the ojek pangkalan which preceded them. Ojek emerged as a widespread form of public transportation in Indonesia in the late 1980s and early 1990s (Medeiros et al 2018). They often organize in groups called pangkalan at transport hubs, business districts, and city peripheries, where passengers seek them out and haggle for fares.…”

There is a growing consensus that emerging forms of flexibilized platform labor (e.g., Upwork, Uber) necessitate new forms of mobilization to resist exploitation, given workers' atomization and lack of statutory rights. However, Euro-American concerns about radical reductions in labor security are countered by workforces in the "near South," where precarious, unprotected work has long been the norm. I explore incrementalist organization in motorcycle taxi (ojek) drivers' resistance to the flexible labor regime of Go-Jek, an Indonesian ride-hailing app. I examine ojek pangkalan (older-style informal-sector drivers) and Himpunan Driver Bandung Raya (HDBR, a grassroots app-based driver association) in the city of Bandung. Although antagonistic toward each other, ojek pangkalan and HDBR employ similar improvisatory strategies, notably micro-territorial basecamps and grassroots social security, to establish claims to their working lives. Incrementalist strategies in Indonesia are thus highly flexible in helping workers manage precarity across formal and informal contexts. By examining organization repertoires among app-based and older-style ojek drivers, this paper contributes to discussions about how the precarity of platform labor is produced and managed in a global context.

“…Crowded news that raised the story of online motorbike drivers from an economic standpoint made people flock to become drivers. Go-Jek has now become an extraordinary phenomenon, especially for people in big cities who feel the impact of Go-Jek because it is considered as a solution to congestion and poor public transportation available [4]. Go-Jek is judged to be faster, more affordable and online-based, making it more efficient and easy to order.…”

This study aims to explain the accountability of PT. Gojek Indonesia through a partnership agreement with Driver Gojek Online, in order to fulfill transportation usage standards. The research method used in this study is legal research that uses an empirical approach, using quantitative data. The results show that PT. Gojek Indonesia can be held accountable and liable related to legal relations through a partnership agreement with online Gojek drivers. Accountability and accountability are based on the legal relationship between the two parties in order to share responsiveness if there is a risk of accidents or damage to the environment caused by online ojek activities. The share responsiveness has a positive impact on maintaining vehicle facilitation indirectly, through maintenance of motorized vehicles on a regular basis and through the replacement of vehicles when the vehicle has exceeded the age of 10 years borne by PT. Gojek Indonesia Driver.
