Even though the income is very low, tenants cannot close because the rest area is one of the public service sectors that still needs to operate, even during this period. prohibition on returning to one’s home area.

Even though by continuing to operate, it means that the operational costs must still be paid every day. These costs include at least electricity, water, gas, and human resources.

The rest areas that are quite busy include the Jagorawi toll road KM 10, the Cikampek KM 6 toll road, the Jakarta-Tanggerang toll road KM 13.5 and KM 14.
