Unfortunately, the high demand is not accompanied by the adaptation of urban space. Streets and circulation nodes begin to be filled with online taxi bikes which are hanging or waiting for passengers. This activity causes congestion and misuse of urban infrastructure. This development must be maintained by the government so that the presence of online taxi bike can run optimally without harming any parties. This study will examine how significant the impact of the presence of online taxi bike in urban areas is related to the use of space and urban infrastructure. This study uses qualitative method and is done by observing several strategic points in the city which were synthesized through the map. The research is complemented by literature studies and enriches the latest information through the city news.
