The Convenience of Online-based-transportation

Technological development has made various innovation and one of the examples is the online-based-transportation. It is a software that is able to call two-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicles whenever and wherever we need. They, the companies, have many drivers that would fetch the customers with a reasonable price. Thus, the society definitely enjoy having online-based-transportation in their life. It sure is really helpful and effective, and despite the convenience, they offer a considerably cheap price.

One of the reasons the society chose this online-based-transportation is because of the reasonable price, the professional service, and how simple it is to order one compared to the local public transportation. However, this price competition is considered harming the local public transportation because, apparently, the companies or the drivers don't pay tax as a public transportation, because they use their own personal transportation, and that is the reason why they can offer cheaper price than the local or offline ones.

Online transportation do help the society, especially in the big cities like Jakarta, Bandung, Bogor, and Surabaya. You just have to download the software in your smartphone, then you can simply order your transportation with a fixed and cheaper price. The security and the safety is guaranteed as the company can easily track their drivers online. The drivers are also selected with many conditions, such as having a complete and non-expired driving license. The companies also give the drivers a helmet for the customers. These conditions make customers feel safe and comfortable.

Unfortunately, this innovation had shown negative affects that have to be handled by the government. As said before, the price competition is considered harming the local public transportation. Finally, the government made a regulation that online public transportation still can not be approved and is illegal until now. Therefore, until now the conflict between online and offline public transportation still exist.

In conclusion, online public transportation helps the society a lot. The convenience and safety, plus the cheap price sure are spoiling the society, they definitely would prefer the online than conventional ones. However, despite the comfort and ease that the society gets, the conventional or offline public transportation drivers are in harm instead. It is unfair and the government clearly understands that as well, but there is still no rules that talks about this case. Therefore, this online public transportation has a positive and negative effects towards the society.
