The Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT) of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) revealed that the launch of the Cantas application for the contactless non-cash toll payment system or Multi Lane Free Flow (MLFF) is awaiting approval from the Minister of PUPR Basuki Hadimuljono.

"If indeed the Cantas application wants to be launched, we are waiting for approval from the Minister of PUPR first," said Head of Operations and Maintenance of the BPJT Secretariat of the Ministry of PUPR Ali Rachmadi at a seminar in Jakarta, Tuesday.

Ali added, this is because the launch of the Cantas application is a policy from the Ministry of PUPR.

"Regarding the progress of the Cantas application, we have made a simulator and placed it in several places, especially at the PUPR Ministry and has been connected to the application," he said.

This application will later be connected to source of funds, where it still needs to be integrated with banks and so on.

Previously, the Head of BPJT of the Ministry of PUPR, Danang Parikesit, in his direction said that the MLFF-based non-cash transaction system was one of the new innovations through the contactless payment system by creating efficiency, effectiveness, security, and comfort in implementing the Toll Road payment system in Indonesia.

The Ministry of PUPR through the Toll Road Regulatory Agency continues to make innovations in improving maximum service for motorists on toll roads through Transformation, Innovation and Modernization (TIM) which refers to Toll Road 4.0 technology.

With the implementation of the MLFF, the toll road will completely become a freeway or there will be no more barriers at the toll gate.

Traffic on toll roads will be monitored with the support of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology.
