JAKARTA - The Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT) said that all new toll roads in the Nusantara National Capital (IKN) area will be implemented with a contactless cashless toll transaction system or Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF).

"For the new (toll) sections, all of them will definitely use MLFF," said the Head of BPJT Danang Parikesit in Jakarta, Monday, March 20.

Danang said that his party is currently proposing to the PUPR Minister for the implementation of the MLFF on the Balikpapan-Samarinda toll road section.

"The application of MLFF on the toll road aims to welcome digitalization in IKN," he said.

Previously, the PUPR Ministry's BPJT had stated that there were six toll roads that would be tested for MLFF, including Jagorawi, Jakarta-Cikampek, Inner City, Jakarta Outer Ring Road (JORR) including Ulujami-Pondok Aren-Serpong, Bali-Mandara, and Balikpapan - Samarinda.

BPJT plans to trial the transition to a contactless cashless toll transaction system or Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) on June 1, 2023, on the Bali Mandara Toll Road.

The selection of the Bali Mandara Toll Road has gone through a discussion process, taking into account that this toll road section is not yet too congested, so it will be easier to carry out supervision to ensure that all systems will run properly.
