JAKARTA - PT Hutama Karya (Persero) reported that more than 900,000 vehicles passed on six sections, which applied a 20 percent discount for 10 days of the national holiday period and the 2025 school holiday.
In percentage terms, there was an increase in the volume of vehicles by 87 percent compared to the normal period.
Executive Vice President (EVP) Corporate Secretary Adjib Al Hakim said the discount program aims to support the smooth mobility of the community as well as reduce travel costs.
"Despite the application of the tariff discount, the interest of toll road users who pass to tourist destinations or their hometowns is expected to be due to the national long holiday period and the 2025 school holiday," said Adjib in a written statement, quoted Friday, July 18.
The six sections that apply tariff cuts, namely the Terbanggi Besar (Kayu Agung) Toll Road, the Indralaya "Prabumulih (Indraprabu) Toll Road, the PekanbaruDumai Toll Road, the Indrapura' Kisaran (Inkis) Toll Road, the Kuala TanjungTebing TinggiParapat (Kutepat) Toll Road and the SigliBanda Aceh Toll Road.
Then the two additional sections that have just been implemented from the second period (27-29 June 2025) are the Pekanbaru 'XIII Koto Kampar Toll Road and the Bengkulu'Taba Penjung Toll Road.
The period of application of tariff cuts took place from 7-10 June, 27-29 June and 11-13 July 2025. The tariff discount is valid from 07.00 WIB. Especially for the Inkis and Kutepa toll roads which are integrated with Medan Raya, the tariff discount is valid from 00.00 WIB during that period.
"There were no significant disturbances during the tariff cuts and toll roads that were most crossed during this period were the Pekanbaru 'Dumai Toll Road and the Kuala Tanjung' Tebing Tinggi 'Parapat Toll Road, which experienced the largest surge in users," he said.
In the future, Hutama Karya will conduct periodic evaluations and consider the sustainability of the policy, including tariff cuts during the upcoming national holiday momentum in order to improve the benefits and efficiency of toll services.
"We continue to strive to provide the best service and contribute in supporting the sustainability of the national economy through strategic policies like this," he said.

Meanwhile, Public Policy Observer Agus Pambagio assessed that the application of tariff cuts was a strategic step in line with government policies in increasing the efficiency of transportation services and expanding people's mobility access during the holiday period.
This policy is also believed to support the government's efforts to encourage national economic growth and increase the competitiveness and welfare of the community.
"The role of Hutama Karya as the Toll Road Business Entity is very important in the successful implementation of this tariff cut.
