Chapter III
The solution came from the Ministry of Transportation that regulates the existence of transportation facilities, both conventional and online transportation. But based on the regulations of the Ministry of Transportation, Bali are not suitable to be compared to other regions. Because Bali as a world tourist destination must have quality support for transportation facilities that prioritize service which has been carried out by local or conventional drivers from generation to generation.
Recently, the elected Governor, I Wayan Koster gave a solution, one of them is must requiring all online transportation drivers to have a Balinese identity card. Where this will provide a guarantee of good quality to tourists, because previously a lot of news circulated that online transportation drivers who bring tourists only use makeshift clothing such as T-shirts, shorts which does not reflect Balinese culture that is polite and cultured.
And also, online transportation drivers must comply with applicable regulations to use DK a Balinese local vehicle registration plate that registered in Bali region, where in this case in order to anticipate a surge in illegal online transportation drivers coming from outside of the Bali island. Another solution came from PERUSDA BALI or The Agent of Development Bali.
The Agent of Development Bali provide some solution to online transportation, where one of the solutions is all of online transportation is not allowed to operate in Bali region which has many of tourism destination that apply contribution taxes to the traditional villages areas. Secondly, online four-wheeled vehicles are not permitted to operate, but the two wheels can still operate over Bali island.
And after that, the four-wheeled online vehicles are still not allowed, while the two-wheeled vehicles are able to. The Agent of Development Bali were offering an online application called e-transportation which is a solution for the conventional drivers, so that people can keep up with the technology. Where this application the system is similar to online transportation applications in general, so it will still make it easier for consumers who are familiar with the application, including in terms of ease and affordability.
Then this was immediately rejected by the conventional driver because this would not solve the problem. Where the price offered by online application is also very low, for example from Denpasar to Tanah Lot the online application only offered 150.000 Indonesian Rupiah. While, conventional transportation has a minimum tariff of 350.000 Indonesia Rupiah. Conventional drivers only want the online application to be removed and everything returns to normal.
