Yogyakarta’s regional transportation authority aims to eliminate motorized rickshaws (bentor) and other motorized vehicles from the Malioboro district beginning in late November 2026. The initiative intends to reshape the iconic area, prioritizing pedestrian access and overall urban aesthetics. Authorities are currently developing supporting policies to facilitate the transition and mitigate potential impacts on drivers. The plan does not specify alternative employment opportunities for those affected by the ban. This move is part of a broader effort to modernize transportation and enhance the tourist experience in the historically significant Malioboro area. Further details regarding implementation and enforcement are expected to be released in the coming months. The government anticipates a smoother transition with comprehensive planning and stakeholder engagement.
