Tada, Gojek to temporarily raise surcharge for rides to support drivers as fuel prices rise

Gojek’s email, which was also sent to customers on Friday, announced the same adjustment amount to its Driver Fee. It added that the increase will not apply to its GoTaxi rides, which will “continue to follow the meter as usual”.

Both platforms said 100 per cent of the fee will go to drivers. They will also monitor the situation, with Tada saying that it will review its measure “as fuel conditions evolve”.  

“At Tada, we remain committed to supporting our driver-partners, so they can continue providing reliable rides for you; while continuing to look after the interest of our riders,” said the platform,” said the platform.

Gojek said it will do its best to keep rides “reliable and affordable”.

The adjustments come after a similar move by Grab on Mar 31, when it announced a temporary increase to its fuel surcharge to 90 cents from Apr 7 to May 31, amid volatile fuel prices spurred by the conflict in the Middle East.

The move includes an additional 40-cent surcharge on passenger fares during this period.
