The integration of the JORR toll road is valid in July

KONTAN.CO.ID – JAKARTA. Despite numerous objections, the Tolls Control Agency (BPJT) of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) aims to implement the tariff integration of the Jakarta toll road. Outer Ring (JORR) in July 2018.

The government believes that the goal is achieved because the implementation of JORR tariff integration has been delayed twice. Initially, the implementation of the integration will take place on June 13, 2018, then postponed to June 20, 2018, but will also fail. "Now, we hope that socialization will take place in July," said BPJT leader Herry Trisaputra Zuna, after a speech at the West Merdeka Forum (BKW) on Monday (2/7).

According to Herry, the integration of toll road tariffs is urgent to improve the efficiency of toll road services. Without integration, JORR toll rates entail high logistics costs. "It's very urgent, we have to do it, we have to give a deadline," said Herry. He denied that the integration of the JORR toll road would weigh down a private Clbad I car.

According to him, the users who are overwhelmed by the rate increases due to the integration are only a close user . While the JORR toll is dominated by long-distance users. According to BPJT data, 33% of JORR users are short-range Clbad I, while 67% are long distance. "Later, for the short distance will be reduced, wait," explained Herry.
