Ministry Of Transportation Prepares Jabodebek LRT Dynamic Tariff, Valid When?

JAKARTA - The Ministry of Transportation plans to implement a dynamic pricing tariff system for the Jabodebek LRT. Currently, the plan is still in the discussion stage.

Spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation Adita Irawati said that in a study on the application of this dynamic rate, one of the observables related to passenger traffic during peak hours and non-busy hours (off peak hours).

Based on the current trend of the movement of Jabodebek LRT passengers, continued Adita, the busy hours of this mode of transportation are in the morning and evening. This busy hour takes place when people go and go home from work.

The rush hour in the morning occurs from 05.00 to 10.00 WIB. Meanwhile, in the afternoon it occurs from 16.00 to 20.00 WIB. Meanwhile, non-peak hour or non-holiday hours occur from 10.00 to 16.00 WIB.

"It's still being discussed. We will also monitor the behavior of public transportation so that it can be adjusted to the most appropriate tariff scheme. Meanwhile, our most appropriate link is dynamic pricing," Adita said at the Ministry of Transportation, written Tuesday, November 14.

Even so, Adita said that he could not confirm whether the Jabodebek LRT dynamic tariff scheme would take effect from the end of this year. This is because the decision depends on the results of the study.

"Can it be the end of the year? It depends on our evaluation of the use (of the Jabodebek LRT) by the community," he said.
