Abstract

In Indonesia there are 3 (three) types of transportation, namely land transportation, sea transportation, and air transportation. 5 Of the three types of transportation, road transportation is the medium most often used by passengers when compared to other transportation. The characteristics of people's transportation can be divided into private transportation and public transportation. Paratransit public transportation is transportation that does not have a fixed route and schedule in operating along its route, while mass transit public transportation is transportation that has a fixed route and schedule, as well as clear stopping places. Motorcycles are included in the classification of types of private vehicles, but nowadays motorbikes also perform the function of public transportation, namely transporting people and/or goods and charging an agreed fee. This kind of transportation is known as a motorcycle taxi. Ojek Online, one of the online application-based transportation, plays a very important role in the delivery of goods in the city. The author wants to examine what if the goods sent through this online-based application experience damage or loss in terms of Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. The author uses the library research method or literature review. This library research research is to conduct research from library books, magazines, journals and articles and sources from the internet that are relevant to the issues discussed.
