据《雅加达邮报》3月22日报道：周二，几千名出租车司机在首都举行了反打车软件集会，场面混乱，佐科总统呼吁保持秩序。

传统的出租车司机举行罢工，旨在促使政府关闭优步、抢车等打车软件。这是他们这个月举行的第二次集会，他们已与打车软件进行了两年竞争，收入急剧减少。

早前，陆路运输司机协会(PPAD)宣布将在周二举行大规模集会，有几千名参与者将聚集在众议院、通信与信息部，交通部和国会大厦前。

抗议期间，大排长龙的出租车堵塞了主要道路，人们点燃轮胎，其它有针对性的出租车司机拒绝参加抗议。

美国打车软件公司优步和马拉西亚打车软件公司抢车自去年以来一直在抗议活动的中心。传统的出租车司机也出现在反打车软件的活动中，这些打车软件是本土公司Go-Jek和马来西亚的抢车公司引进的。

President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo has called for order following a chaotic rally held by thousands of taxi drivers in the capital on Tuesday in protest of ride-hailing applications.

Conventional taxi drivers are striking, aiming to push the government to shut down apps such as Uber and Grab. This is their second rally for the month, after two years of competition with popular app-based transportation has severely reduced their incomes.

"Protesting through a rally is a right, but it must be conducted in an orderly manner. The technical solution to these matters will be delivered by the transportation minister," Jokowi said on Tuesday in Jakarta.

Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan called on law enforcers to take firm action against vandal protesters. "It’s a crime to carry out anarchistic and vandalistic actions. I demand they prosecute those who take anarchic action," he said.

He also urged the Jakarta Organization of Land Transportation Owners (Organda) to mediate the tension between conventional taxis and app-based taxis by summoning Grab and Uber for a discussion to find a consensus-based agreement.

Previously, the Land Transportation Drivers Association (PPAD) announced that it would launch a huge rally on Tuesday, promising thousands of participants would converge at the House of Representatives, the Communication and Information Ministry, the Transportation Ministry and the State Palace.

During the protest, long lines of taxis blocked main roads while men set tires alight and targeted other taxi drivers who had refused to take part in the protest.

The US-based Uber and Malaysian-based GrabTaxi have been at the center of protests since last year. Drivers of traditional ojek (motorcycle taxis) have also protested the presence of ride-hailing apps introduced by homegrown company Go-Jek and Malaysia's GrabBike.
