“We ask that administrative and criminal sanctions for parties who violate online transportation laws to be the most important thing," he told Hukumonline.

Then regarding the regulation of the formulation of tariff formation as a benchmark for the Ministry to determine costs. The details of the tariff are regulated in the derivative regulations of the Ministry. "So, the parent of the legal basis for determining this tariff is included in the draft," he continued.
