Those data are analyzed using descriptive analysis methods. The results of the study are: first, using motorcycle taxis contains the values of maslahah (benefit), in terms of daruriyah, hajjiyah, and tahsiniyah domains in fulfilling the community needs; second, because of its mashlahah values, the users (passengers) need to have legal protection by providing legal certainty for motorcycle taxi.
