JAKARTA - Chairman of Commission B of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Ismail, said that regional income from electronic paid roads (Electronic Road Pricing/ERP) in the capital city could reach IDR 30 billion-IDR 60 billion per day. Ismail said that one trip from all vehicle users passing 25 ERP roads per day is estimated to earn IDR 30 billion, which is multiplied by two with the opposite flow of vehicle drivers. "We received information, no less per day, around Rp. 30 billion-Rp. 60 billion in funds that came in. One trip was Rp. 30 billion, meaning twice (travel) around Rp. 60 billion," said Ismail in Jakarta, Antara, Monday, January 16. Based on the proposal of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) in the Draft Regional Regulation (Raperda) for Electronic Traffic Control (PL2SE), ERP service rates are set at IDR 5,000-IDR 19,000 per vehicle with a plan to be applied to 25 roads in Jakarta at 05.00-22.00 WIB. He assessed that the amount of income that would become DKI Jakarta's regional income was not small. Therefore, the use of the incoming money must be handled properly. "That's not a few numbers, that's why it must be ensured with this figure, with a potential acceptance of that magnitude, it must be handled and implemented properly," he said. Because the income is relatively large, Ismail said he would confirm further with the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency regarding the proposed ERP service tariff value of Rp. 5,000-Rp. 19,000. "We will question the basis of where the figure came from, there must be calculations," he said.
