JAKARTA - During its operation without tariffs since June 2023, the Sigli-Banda Aceh (Sibanceh) Section 5-6 (Bang Bintang-Baitussalam) Toll Road has been passed by 430,000 vehicles.

"Throughout this tariffless operating period, Hutama Karya has intensively carried out socialization and education," said Executive Vice President (EVP) Corporate Secretary Hutama Karya Adjib Al Hakim in an official statement written Wednesday, August 14.

This socialization and education includes the use of electronic money cards, benefits and profiles of toll roads, driving rules and information regarding culinary and tourist destinations around toll roads through various communication channels.

Meanwhile, Hutama Karya will soon implement an adjustment to the Sigli-Banda Aceh (Sibanceh) Toll Road tariff Section 2-4 Seulimeum-Blang Bintang and the tariff determination for Section 5-6 Blang Bintang-Baitussalam.

This follows the issuance of a Decree (SK) of the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) No.1980/KPTS/M/2024 on August 9, 2024 regarding Adjustments to the Sigli-Banda Aceh Toll Tariff Section 2-4 (Seulimeum-Blang Bintang) and Determination of Tariffs in Section 5-6 (Bang Bintang-Baitusalam).

During his four years of operation, said Adjib, various service improvements have been carried out by Hutama Karya.

Starting from routine maintenance and beautification, additional facilities both on the traffic side and transactions as well as improving road quality in accordance with Minimum Service Standards (SPM).

Therefore, toll road tariff adjustments need to be made. This is stated in Article 48 paragraphs 3 and 4 of Law Number 2 of 2022 concerning Roads, that tariff adjustments can be made every two years taking into account the influence of inflation and evaluation of the fulfillment of SPM.

"The tariff adjustment was like it was done in 2022, but was postponed with the consideration of post-covid economic recovery," he added.
