Ojek Sharia

We are residents in Indonesia’s big cities.

Motorcycle taxis may be one of the most convenient modes of public transportation for residents.

The vehicles are able to maneuver through the clogged streets.

However, the compact size of a motorcycle and the close proximity of the driver to the passenger has concerned some.
