JAKARTA - A 20 percent discount on toll rates will be applied again during the 2024 Eid return flow. This discount does not only apply to toll roads on the island of Java, but also applies to the Sumatra Island region.

"(The tariff discount is valid) April 17, 2024 at 05.00 WIB-19 April 2024 at 05.00 WIB," reads a statement from Korlantas Polri quoted from Instagram @korlantaspolri.ntmc, Sunday, April 14.

With the toll tariff discount, it is hoped that the density on toll roads can be decomposed. This is because travelers can travel back when the toll rate cut is enforced.

The following are the details of the route and the valid date of the toll tariff discount of 20 percent:

Previously, PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk together with its business group and a number of other Toll Road Business Entities (BUJT) on the Trans Java Toll Road began to impose a tariff cut of 20 percent since Wednesday, April 3, 2024.

The tariff discount is valid until Friday, April 5, 2024 at 05.00 WIB for the Trans Java Toll Road from Jakarta to Semarang during the Eid Al-Fitr 1445 homecoming period.

The 20 percent toll rate discount only applies to continuous travel from the Cikampek Utama Toll Gate (GT) of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road to the Kalikangkung GT of the Batang-Semarang Toll Road on the flow of homecoming.

Jasa Marga's Corporate Communication and Community Development Group Head Lisye Octaviana said the purpose of this toll tariff cut is to distribute traffic which is predicted to start increasing on Friday, April 5, 2024, and avoid being concentrated at one time at the peak of the homecoming flow which is predicted to fall on Saturday, April 6, 2024.

Lisye said that the toll tariff discount was also in line with the government's advice to travel home early and avoid the peak of the homecoming flow.

Therefore, people can take advantage of the time to apply this toll tariff discount to avoid areas that have the potential to become a density point on the Jasa Marga Group toll road, especially from Jakarta to Semarang.

"The important thing to keep in mind by road users is that tariff deductions will only apply if transactions are carried out using electronic money (e-toll). Rating discounts do not apply if transactions with e-toll balances are insufficient or cannot be read by the origin and class of vehicles," he said in an official statement, Wednesday, April 3.

The 20 percent discount will be applied to all groups of vehicles. For this continuous journey, road users will pass several toll roads, including the Jasa Marga Group toll road including Jakarta-Cikampek, Palimanan-Kanci, Batang-Semarang and Semarang Section ABC as well as the Non Jasa Marga Group toll road including Cikampek-Palimanan, Kanci-Pejagan, Pejagan-Pemalang and Pemalang-Batang.

"The implementation of the toll tariff discount will be calculated when tapping out at the exit toll gate, namely at GT Kalikangkung during the period of homecoming flow or GT Cikampek Utama during the backflow period according to the specified date and time," he said.
