"Gojek cuts its commission by half till at least end-2022 to improve drivers' earnings", 14 June 2021

Ride-hailing operator Gojek will halve the commission it receives from its drivers from June 21 till at least the end-2022, in order to help them increase their earnings.

This means Gojek drivers will get to keep 90 per cent of the fare from every trip, instead of 80 per cent.
