PT Jasa Marga operates 12 substations at Cileunyi Toll Gate (GT), Bandung Regency, West Java, for the 2023 Eid homecoming flow. Manager of the Purbaleunyi Toll Area Agus Pramono said as many as 12 substations consisted of substations that entered the toll road or exit the toll road. Previously, he said, only 11 substations were operated. "If the latest data on D-7 already has around 30 thousand vehicles leaving GT Cileunyi," Agus said as quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, April 16 In addition to operating substations, he said, his party provided a "mobile reader" (MR) to speed up the transaction process at the toll gate. Meanwhile, MR was used by Jasa Marga officers by approaching the car to make transactions.

With the substation and MR, he explained, GT Cileunyi can handle up to 3,000 vehicles that make transactions within one hour. "This capacity can be 3,000 vehicles in one hour, so this is very sufficient," he said. However, if there is a long queue at the Cileunyi GT, he said, his party together with the Bandung Police will divert the flow so that the homecoming vehicle continues to the Cisumdawu Toll Road.

Meanwhile, Bandung Police Chief Kombes Pol Kusworo Wibowo said there were 10 MR units prepared at the toll gate and used alternately while adjusting the battery conditions. "So technically in line at the toll gate, the'mobile reader' is used in the back row so that when there are two vehicles at once they can transact in the lane at the same time," said Kusworo.
