Gojek's rapid growth and market dominance in Indonesia have led to prominent media coverage, including criticism primarily stemming from conventional taxi and Ojek services.[120][121][122] Go-Jek was briefly banned from operations by the Ministry of Transportation, along with other ride-hailing services.[123] The ban was opposed by a huge number of Indonesians, mustering public support with the hashtag #SaveGojek that became a top trending topic on Twitter in Indonesia.[124] The ban was lifted the very same day[125] after President Joko Widodo criticized it, stating the government should not prohibit innovation and asserting the ban would adversely affect the lives of many Indonesians who rely on Gojek's services.[126] In October 2018, the Indonesian Minister of Transportation, Budi Karya Sumadi, applied a new rule for online taxis. PM 108 replaced the previous PM 26, regulating the use of private cars being used for public transportation.[127]
