David Tobing, president of the Indonesian consumer community (KKI), says he sent a letter to the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR). The letter, essentially KKI, is opposed to Ministerial Decree PUPR no. (19659003) Jakarta Ring Road / Jakarta Ring Road / Jakarta Ring Road), June 5, 2018.
This policy imposes a single rate of toll payment with the same tariff, both for the short distance only for the long distance. Initially, this policy was about to take effect on June 20th. However, due to the need for socialization led by the Tolls Regulatory Agency (BPJT), the EPRU Ministry suspended the implementation of the system of toll road integration at a date indefinite.
ICC motivated the integration of the toll road which resulted in the increase of the toll tariff without compensation the respect of the minimum service standard (SPM) of toll road (SPM) can not not serve as a basis for increasing the toll rate. Referring to Article 48 (1) and (3) of Law no. 38 of 2004 regarding roads, toll rates are calculated on the basis of the ability of road users to pay, the benefits of vehicle operating costs and the feasibility of the investment.
"This integration also can not serve as a basis for raising tariffs.This shows that the adjustment of the toll rate is based on the influence of the rate of inflation, and not because of the integration that is raising toll rates, "said David in his statement Friday (29/6/2018).

David recalled before increasing toll rates for SPM to be respected first. He cited BPK's report on the results of the BPK dated January 10, 2018, which presented the results of the Petik test: several toll roads like Cawang-Tomang-Pluit, JORR, Jakarta-Tangerang, Jagorawi and Cawang-Tanjung Priok- Pluit did not meet the minimum average speed indicator according to SPM.
"The speed on the ground is less than 40 km / h, while the Public Works Department's regulation No. 15 of 2014 on the SPM toll road regulates the average speed of domestic toll roads. at least 40 km / h and 60 km / h to get out of the city, "he said.
In fact, Regulation No. 96 of 2015 relating to the guidelines for the implementation of traffic management and management activities authorizing services on toll roads must respect the minimum level of service B stable rate with a debit average of at least 70 km / h
David believes that the integration of toll roads potentially leads to discrimination among users of the toll road. Because with this policy, some consumers of toll roads have to pay more than long-distance road users. In other words, the equation of short-distance tariffs with forms of long-distance discrimination in violation of the 1945 Constitution.
"The right not to be discriminatory treatment was protected and guaranteed by article 28I, paragraph 2, of the 1945 Constitution, by article 4, letter g, article 7, paragraph c of Law No. 8 of 1999 on consumer protection.]
Therefore, KKI urges the UPRP Minister to revoke Ministerial Order No. 382 / KPTS / M / 2018 of the Minister of Public Works because it is considered as likely to violate the right of toll road users as consumers and to provoke discrimination.The Ministry of PUPR has postponed the establishment of a system of transactional integration on the road. Outer Ring Road Jakarta (JORR), Tanjung Priok Access and Pondok Aren-Ulujami The delay of the system integration me is intended to improve the services on the highway
this integration is the increase in toll road tariffs, but this is not what we want to say This integration of the system to improve services to the community. The toll that has set up this system is Jagorawi Toll Road and Semarang, the traffic is down, but the service is much better, "said Arie Setiadi Moerwanto, director general of the Ministry of Fisheries, quoted on page Ministry of PUPR 19659004]
This program of integration of toll roads was part of Road Map to electronically.This policy aims to restore the goal of JORR's construction as a highway JORR transactions managed by three different toll companies mean that long-distance users must stop at each toll, which often constitutes a source of congestion on this segment.
"Before we pbad JORR toll road, Tanjung Priok Access and Pondok Aren-Ulujami there are three transactions, later we will make a transaction so that this system loses congestion in each TOLL ", said the head of the Road Regulatory Agency. Toll, Herry Trisaputra Zuna.
Herry continues toll users will be charged a rate of Rp15,000 for 17 Km, for users over 17 Km the fare will be much cheaper. These tariff adjustments are made to subsidize vehicles remotely much like a vehicle logistics, not to subsidize a business, but to improve logistics efficiency.
"We recommend that these logistics vehicles be subsidized to better comply with regulations to adjust the loads and dimensions of vehicles."
He explains the benefits of integrating the toll road is the efficiency of time and costs, especially the users of road toll logistics services that previously stopped 2 or 3 times at one time with lower rates than before, which translates into more efficient logistics costs and a positive impact on the availability of goods and services.
Soetta Airport, Pondok Aren or Tanjung Priok port perform 2-3 transactions, but after the integration of toll road users, simply make a transaction with this system of Transaction more convenient
GT Big Timber, GT Meruya Utama, GT Meruya Utama 1 and 2, GT Rorotan, GT Pondok Ranji Wing Bintaro direction, with the implementation of this integration, the points of congestion that are found usually at the tollgate will decompose
The UPPR Ministry expects toll tariffs to meet the needs of logistic industry players capable of driving trucks / kontaine r in the use of toll roads, to reduce the burden of arteries. Through the simplification of the transaction system will apply open systems with the application of a single tariff, in which toll users – depending on the category of vehicles – will pay the same toll rates without taking into account the distance traveled.
