Indonesia’s national association of river, lake, and crossing transport entrepreneurs (Gapasdap) is urging the government to reform the country’s ferry fare system. The organization argues the current system is outdated and requires modernization to ensure fairness and sustainability. Gapasdap’s central leadership is pushing for changes to address long-standing issues within the sector. The call for reform aims to create a more equitable system for both operators and passengers. Details of specific proposed changes were not immediately available, but the organization emphasized the need for a long-term, viable solution. This push comes as Indonesia relies heavily on ferry transport connecting its vast archipelago. The government has yet to respond to Gapasdap’s demands.
