Award for Express Transindo Utama as Revenue and Share Price Grow
Express Transindo Utama (TAXI), an Indonesian taxi operator controlled by Peter Sondakh's Rajawali Corpora, received the award for 'Warta Ekonomi's Best New Listed Company'.

Its biggest competitor is the Blue Bird Group, which aims to conduct an initial public offering (IPO) in the second half of 2013. Blue Bird is the clear market leader in Indonesia's taxi services sector.
