“So we will do everything gradually with our ability to adapt to this new technology,” said Danang.

BPJT itself is currently planning to conduct a trial of the transaction system this year, which will be implemented by PT Roatex Indonesia Toll System (RITS) as a Toll Transaction System Implementing Business Entity.

“By timeline we expect to start the MLFF trial process this year. We hope that if there are no technical obstacles, according to the agreement, implementation efforts will be carried out in stages, depending on the results of trials that will be carried out by RITS as a Toll Transaction System Implementing Business Entity,” said Danang.

Previously, the Ministry of PUPR through the Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT) targeted the non-cash and contactless transactions on toll roads to be implemented gradually in several toll road sections by the end of this year.

For the initial stage of implementation, it begins with a transition period on several toll roads, where some of the substations at each toll gate can still use an electronic toll card.

Head of BPJT Danang Parikesit said that its implementation is planned for the end of 2022, while for toll roads the system will be implemented at the end of the year is still under discussion.
