JAKARTA - PT Hutama Karya (Persero) will soon impose a new tariff on the Bakauheni-Terbanggi Besar Toll Road, starting Thursday, May 25, 2023, at 00.00 WIB. Even so, Hutama Karya will provide a toll rate discount of 20 percent, on the same day.
Director of Operations III Hutama Karya Koentjoro said the tariff adjustment was in accordance with regulations or after the fulfillment of Minimum Service Standards (SPM).
"This tariff adjustment is carried out to create a toll road investment climate, so that it remains conducive which will have an impact on the sustainability of this toll road," he said in a written statement, Wednesday, May 24.
In addition, this toll tariff adjustment needs to be made because the Bakauheni-Terbanggi Besar Toll Road is a fairly long toll road, reaching 140 KM so that maintenance costs from year to year are increasing.
"We also complement many facilities in optimizing the operation of the Bakauheni-Terbanggi Besar Toll Road, so that this tariff adjustment has also been accompanied by an increase in existing services," said Koentjoro.
However, Hutama Karya has not disclosed the question of completing the tariff that has been carried out in a written statement. "Regarding the amount of the tariff, we will inform you further when the new tariff decree has been issued by the Minister of PUPR," said Koentjoro.
In addition to adjusting tariffs, Hutama Karya also provides a new tariff discount of up to 20 percent at all toll gates (GT) on the Bakauheni-Terbanggi Besar toll road.
"As an appreciation to all people who have faithfully chosen the Bakauheni-Terbanggi Besar Toll Road as an alternative trip since 2018, we provide a new tariff discount of up to 20 percent," he said.
Koentjoro emphasized that the tariff discount only applies to the Bakauheni-Terbanggi Besar Toll Road. "So, people who pass from the Terbanggi Besar GT to GT Kayu Agung still use the normal tariff on the Terbanggi Besar-Pematang Panggang-Kayu Agung Toll Road," he concluded.
