Part 7/9:
The camaraderie among ojek drivers is vividly depicted through interactions with friends and fellow drivers. They share their daily trip counts, with some achieving around 13-20 orders in a day, demonstrating their relentless pursuit of income. An elderly driver nearing 60, proudly sharing that he still manages to complete dozens of trips daily, sets an example for younger drivers.
Driver friends discuss the satisfaction they get from their work — from meeting various customers to earning tips. For many, the job is not just about income but also about the joy of social connection and the pride of self-sufficiency. Despite the physical and financial challenges, these drivers display unwavering enthusiasm for their work.
