Indonesia prepares integrated toll fares for Greater Jakarta
An online survey by the Indonesian Empowered Consumers Forum found 74.1% of respondents support integrated toll fares in Greater Jakarta, known as Jabodetabek.
The support came from logistics groups and commuters who regularly use toll roads.
The government is preparing regulations to link toll roads as one network and spread traffic more evenly.
One priority is aligning fares on the Cibitung-Cilincing, Jakarta-Cikampek and Tanjung Priok Access toll roads to ease freight flows to Tanjung Priok port.
Logistics representatives say drivers may avoid toll roads if the fares leave too little money for fuel, meals and other operating costs.
A consultant's estimate put toll charges at 7–14% of drivers' travel funds on current routes, rising to 28–40% on dedicated logistics toll roads.
The regulation is still being finalized, and an official said the aim is to complete the process and sign a ministerial regulation so the integration can be implemented.

What people are saying
The main purpose of integration is to improve traffic flow through a more even distribution of vehicles. Connected roads need to support one another as a single network.
The use of toll roads needs to be viewed within the entire logistics ecosystem, including congestion before entering the toll road, route flexibility, trip frequency, and the possibility of obtaining return loads. So the calculation is not only about travel time.
For roads built as logistics routes, freight transport should receive more affordable fares so it is encouraged to use them. Fare policy needs to consider the service function and purpose of each road.
Physical connectivity must be supported by fares that allow drivers to meet their operating needs. If the burden increases significantly, drivers may continue choosing existing routes even if they face congestion or higher safety risks.
