JAKARTA - The government has yet to announce the amount of the toll tariff discount and when to defend itself.
In fact, the 2025 Christmas and 2026 New Year holidays (Nataru 2025/2026) are only about two months away.
Related to this, the Minister of Public Works (PU) Dody Hanggodo revealed that the reason for discussing the toll tariff discount in the Nataru period had yet to find a bright spot.
According to Dody, his party is currently conducting intensive discussions with the Toll Road Business Entity (BUJT) regarding the implementation of the tariff discount.
"So, we are still discussing hard, because of what? Now, right, we are not only talking about Nataru, but also talking about Eid al-Fitr (2026) because it is close, here. So, I are discussing these two things," said Dody in a Media Briefing at the Ministry of Public Works office, Jakarta, Friday, October 31.
The reason, said Dody, is that the discount will affect the income of BUJT.
Thus, the determination of the discount will be carried out carefully and with full consideration.
Even so, he stressed that the government will continue to strive to provide tariff discounts.
This is intended to ensure that there is no accumulation of vehicles during the Nataru holiday.
"So, if everything piles up, right, there will also be a total traffic jam (there is) a new problem. For toll road owners, yes, they should be given a discount, so that the flow is smoother, right. There is no traffic jam," he said.
