Actually it has been a month more rules prohibiting online-based transport services such as Uber Taxi, Go-Jek, Go-Box, Grab Taxi, Grab Car, Blu-Jek and Lady-Jek and the like signed Transportation Minister Ignatius Jonan.

Precisely November 9, 2015. Official announcement that was just done on Thursday (17/12). 
The legal basis used is Law Number 22 Year 2009 on Traffic and Transportation, Government Regulation No. 74 of 2014 on Road Transportation, Decree of the Minister of Transportation Number KM 35 Year 2003 on the Implementation of Public Transport on Public Vehicle Road and Minister of Transportation Decree No. KM 69 Year 1993 on the Implementation of Goods Transportation.

All the rules and laws are essentially talking about the prohibition of private vehicles being used as public transport vehicles. As reflected by the minister's announcement. 
Pros-cons directly burst. Or the more cons the rumble. Because the regulations issued by Ignatius Jonan collided directly with an online-based transport service that does use private vehicles as a means of public transportation. 
A community that has been helped, and this is very broad, loses a cheap, easy, and reliable service.Communities lose a "transport system" to, in a way, overcome the chaos of transportation in Jakarta.Do not talk too much about comfort, but at least a reasonable price. 
No more shooting prices, all have been calculated according to the meter and arranged to please all parties. Riders, service providers and passengers both know and agree.
 
Then where is the government? Perhaps they are still struggling to find ways to build a more humane transportation, though until decades it has not been realized. 
They seem more hooked to boost the vehicle from the factory more absorbed in the community rather than build a humane transportation system. 
In Jakarta today there are about 13 million two-wheeled vehicles and nearly three and a half million four-wheeled vehicles. Its growth per year is about 12 percent. Yet the length of the road in Jakarta is only 7,028 kilometers from the year 2010 with the addition of about 0.01 percent each year.
 
Traffic density, high vehicle growth, chaotic regulation coupled with the need for fast and cheap transportation, then there are technological innovations that accommodate it. Such as the emergence of online-based transport services that start crowded in early 2015.

Yes, everything related to the livelihood of the people needs to be regulated. And like it or not, like it does not like it, the country has the power to organize. 
But it is very unwise to then forbid a very helpful innovation simply because, if true, it violates the rules and laws. The logic of the law is made to organize and organize, not to behead. 
That is, rules and laws must be adapted to the times and progress (technology). 
The government should read the phenomenon and make appropriate regulations. In the case of online-based transport, accepting it as an aid to unravel the transport muddle and not to make it a new scapegoat. 
The Indonesian government only needs to provide regulatory certainty for those who have contributed to this business. 
By providing certainty to motorists from the economic side, as well as regulation how to ensure consumer safety can be guaranteed, by looking for other options than to issue a ban during the transition period. 
This government's decision is also very unilateral and quasi-power. 
The policy that was signed by the former President Director of PT Kereta Api Indonesia was only given to seven agencies, none of which exhaled it to the managers of start-up transportation services that are directly affected.

Copies are only granted to the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Governors throughout Indonesia, Kapolda throughout Indonesia, Head of Traffic Corps of Police Headquarters, Directorate General of Land Transportation Ministry of Transportation and Chairman of the Central Executive Board of Land Transportation Organization (Organda).

Now Jonan has softened. It allows online transport to operate until public transport is improved and feasible. I do not know when it will be achieved. 
There is one very good thing to take away from all these events. The government must start learning to accept ideas, innovations (and virtues) from below. 
People should not be fed with a variety of legislation products that inhibit ideas and innovations, which actually help the government to overcome various problems.
