This study analyzes paratransit drivers’ stated job choice behavior under various policy interventions. First, the current profiles of four typical types of paratransit drivers (becak, ojek, bajaj, and angkot drivers) are clarified in Jabodetabek Metropolitan Area, Indonesia. Second, factors affecting their future driver job choices under policy interventions from social and environmental aspects were investigated based on a stated preference (SP) survey, conducted in 2010. In the SP survey, future driver jobs are assumed by considering salary level, employment opportunity, employment status, operation cost, subsidy for low-emission vehicles, vehicle fuel types, and so on. Third, direct evaluation of different factors on job choices were conducted by cross-tabulations. Dogit model was further applied to properly represent the captive job decision. The model estimation results confirmed that drivers are relatively captive to ojek and bajaj, and subsidy for low-emission vehicles is influential to drivers’ stated job choices about ojek and bajaj.
