Taxi operator Blue Bird (BIRD) continues to work to widen its business line by reforming a new subsidiary called PT Trans Antar Nusabird. The new unit is engaged in transportation, warehousing, postal, courier services, tourism, trade, leasing, travel agents and financial services. The huge investment in the corporate action was valued at Rp400 billion.

The growth of the internet and other technology has stimulated the evolution of a sharing business model, most apparently in transportation and tourism sectors. Such a global phenomenon is now taking hold in Indonesia.

As reported by Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC), people are eager to use these services because they are affordable and efficient. The presence of GOJEK and Grab has altered the transport business landscape in Indonesia forever.
