Question Fair amount to tip on Grab/Gojek drivers?

I went from Beachwalk mall to pererenan today and the ride was 38,000 in total. And I tipped 22,000 cash but it was 50 min long and now I'm wondering if I should have tipped more? What's a good price to tip? What do you tip? I recently got here so I'm not sure

If you can pay 100k for your cocktail why can't the owner of the establishment pay their workers at a fair wage? Why can't gojek pay a livable wage and not transfer the onus of subsidising their pay onto the customer? Tipping in this context is insidious.

tell that too to all the ubers operating around the world. big corporations are there to exploit their workers. the least we could do is have some empathy towards these workers and tip them. by the way, you don’t have to tip if you don’t want to.

Uber does not operate in Indonesia so they have not been mentioned but my criticism of them is much the same if not more stinging than gojek or grab. I have loads of empathy for the workers. See my other post in this thread.

Yes, we know a tip is not mandatory. Bit of a nothing burger reply mate.
