JAKARTA - The Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) said that the implementation of the contactless non-contact toll transaction system or Multi Lane Free Flow (MLFF) was carried out in stages in December this year.

Director General of Highways of the Ministry of PUPR Rachman Arief Dienaputra said the implementation of the MLFF for the initial stage used a single lane free flow (SLFF) system, with the Bali Mandara Toll Road as an initial trial and continued to six other toll roads.

"We propose it in December COD (commercial operation date). We are in discussion, hopefully we can find the best way," said Rachman in Bogor Regency, West Java, quoted from Antara, Wednesday, July 10.

The seven toll roads that will implement MLFF include the Bali-Mandara Toll Road, the Balikpapan-Samarinda Toll Road, the Jakarta-Bogor-Ciawi Toll Road, the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road, the Soedijatmo Toll Road (Soetta Airport Toll Road), the Jakarta City I Toll Road, the Jakarta Outer Ring Road (JORR) I Toll Road.

"After December gradually, not directly all the seven sections," he said.

Currently, the Ministry of PUPR continues to coordinate with PT Roatex Indonesia Tol System (RITS) as the implementing business entity (BUP) for the MLFF program. This project itself is included in the National Strategic Program (PSN).

Previously, the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono said the implementation of the MLFF toll transaction system was carried out in stages on the Indonesian toll road starting at the end of 2024.

"From the results of the trial in December 2023 on the Bali Mandara toll road, there are still several things that must be evaluated, including technical and managerial. Currently there is a solution from the managerial side. I am optimistic that MLFF will be implemented in stages with a single lane or hybrid still with an (e-toll) card," said Basuki Hadimuljono in Jakarta, Wednesday (29/5).

Meanwhile, President Director of Roatex Indonesia Toll System Attila Keszeg as the Implementing Business Entity for the MLFF-Based Contactless Non-Cash Toll Transaction System revealed that it continues to work closely with PUPR intensively to start implementing the MLFF stage at the end of 2024.

"This project is a technological transformation on toll roads, especially in payment transactions. We continue to work with PUPR intensively to start implementing the MLFF stage at the end of 2024," said Attila.
