Bluebird Group

Blue Bird Group was founded by Mutiara Fatimah Djokosoetono, the wife of Djokosoetono, who was the founder of the Jakarta-based College of Policing (STIK) and the College of Military Law (AHM), as well as the first dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Indonesia. She founded the company with her two sons, Chandra Suharto and Purnomo Prawiro. They established a non-argo taxi company named Chandra Taksi (after Chandra Suharto), which is considered the predecessor of Blue Bird. Chandra Taksi started its operation from two cars granted by the people at PTIK and AHM. Chandra Taksi was considered an illegal taxi operation (taksi gelap) because the company utilised private cars for taxi service. They officially founded Blue Bird in 1972, with their other business partners after had obtained permit from Jakarta Office of Transportation. Blue Bird pioneered several innovations in the Indonesian taxicab industry, including argometer-based tariffs, air-conditioned taxis, and GPS system installations. On 30 March 2017, Blue Bird collaborated with the technology group Gojek to launch Go-Blue Bird, which enable consumers to order Blue Bird taxis directly through the Gojek app. On 6 June 2018, Blue Bird unveiled a new company logo. At the same time, the company respelled its name to Bluebird, where the additional space between the word 'blue' and 'bird' was removed, merging both words into one. This spelling alignment was also applied to the company's business units; for example, Silver Bird was respelled to Silverbird. On 22 April 2019, Bluebird launched their electric taxi fleet, e-Taxi, which consist of 25 BYD e6s for the regular Bluebird taxis and 5 Tesla Model X 75Ds for the executive Silverbird taxis, a first in the Indonesian taxicab industry. Both e6 and Model X taxis went on service in 1 May 2019, coinciding with the company's 47th anniversary. == Business units ==
