Indonesia once again deferred the imposition of higher fares for ride-hailing motorcycle taxis that were set to come into force on Aug 29.

The Ministry of Transportation didn’t give a new a deadline for online motorcycle taxi operators to raise minimum tariffs, which would have raised prices by nearly 50% in the capital city of Jakarta. The hike was initially set for Aug 14, then pushed back to Aug 29.
