JAKARTA - Member of Commission VI Indonesian House of Representatives from the Gerindra faction, Andre Rosiade, asked SOEs related to toll road operators to provide the best service for Idul Fitri travelers in 2022 who use land routes, considering that homecoming has been abolished for two years.
"After two years of not seeing family due to the surge in COVID-19 cases, there will be an increase in vehicles due to the euphoria of going home. This must be a concern for toll managers like Jasa Marga", he told reporters, Friday, April 29.
According to Andre, excellent service must be provided for the smooth flow of Lebaran homecoming this year. Moreover, said Andre, the Trans Java toll road will be the focus of the 2022 Lebaran homecoming flow. The reason is that the toll road is able to cut mileage and prevent homecomers from spilling over.
However, said Andre, the toll road is not completely free of obstacles. Rest areas and toll gates are still vulnerable to overcrowding. He said the potential for overcrowding on toll roads still occurs at rest areas or rest areas.
"On toll roads, drivers cannot stop arbitrarily unless due to an emergency, such as a strike. That's why drivers often attack rest areas that are 30 kilometers or more away from the next rest area. Moreover, during the Lebaran homecoming period they need to rest, eat, refuel, to the toilet", he said.
Therefore, Andre continued, this must receive special attention from the state-owned toll road operator.

"We want toll operators to ensure the availability and cleanliness of rest areas for the convenience of travelers", he said.
In addition, Andre also reminded the potential for overcrowding at toll exits. Therefore, he asked toll managers to prepare anticipatory measures.
"Such as adding transaction officers at toll booths to preparing flow-breaking scenarios", he said.
