JAKARTA - Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono said there would be a discount on toll rates at three toll gates (GT) during the 2023 Eid moment. The magnitude reaches 20 percent.
"I just got the letter for a discount on the toll road," Basuki told reporters, Thursday, April 6.
Three GTs that have imposed discounts include Jakarta-Cikampek, Cikampek Utama, and Kalihurip. There may be additional ones, because they are still waiting for a proposal from the Indonesian Toll Road Association (ATI).
The application of discounts is only two days during homecoming and return flow. The details are April 16-17 and April 27-28 2023.
"So that's the new one that just got the proposal. So what is proposed by ATI is that the discount on toll rates on the Cikampek toll road is still waiting. Hopefully in other sections there will also be discounts," he said.
The reason behind the application of the discount is to attract the public's interest in going home early. Thus, there is no accumulation of vehicles when approaching Eid Al-Fitr or Eid Al-Fitr 2023.
"In fact, the discount is prioritized to spread people, so for example, on the 19th people start this holiday, it will be advanced. So to unravel congestion," said Basuki.
For information, the National Police predicts that the peak of the 2023 Eid homecoming will occur on two occasions. The reason is the government's decision to advance collective leave time related to Eid al-Fitr 1444 Hijri.
In the Joint Decree (SKB) 3 Ministers of Leave with Lebaran are set on April 19 to 25, 2023.

"There are two estimates (of the peak) of going home because for leave it is advanced," said the Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Sandi Nugroho.
The peak of the first homecoming flow is predicted to occur at the beginning of collective leave or April 19. Then the second on April 21 or D-2 Lebaran.
"It is estimated that it will be the peak of homecoming from 19 to 21 April," he said.
