Motorbike taxi drivers are a common form of transport in Indonesia's traffic-choked cities. Singapore-based Grab is considered the leading ride-hailing platform in Southeast Asia and plans to expand its presence in densely-populated Indonesia. It was replaced on Grab Indonesia's YouTube channel with a 15-second, blood-free clip. Mediko Azwar, marketing director for Grab Indonesia, said the firm had hoped the video would be "thought-provoking" but added: "We acknowledge that the graphics may have been grim and disturbing." In addition to Indonesia -- one of Grab's key markets -- the firm also operates in Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
