the first three paragraphs:

"When Jakarta saleswoman Fitriyani wants to get somewhere fast, she, like many people these days, turns to a ride-hailing app.

"But Ms Fitriyani’s preferred ride has two wheels, not four. That’s because the quickest, easiest way to get through Jakarta’s traffic-clogged streets is on the back of a motorcycle taxi, or ojek, as it’s called in Indonesian.

"The arrival of cheap, on-demand ojek services that can be booked through Indonesian smartphones is shaking up the way the country’s urbanites commute—and leaving car-hailing apps like San Francisco’s Uber Technologies Inc. behind in the dust.

My comment:There is no need to read the rest.
