As previously reported, the transactions will be cut into a single transaction at the on-ramp gate. The JORR users currently have to make 2 or 3 transactions to use the 76-km JORR toll road that consist of 4 toll roads managed by different operators (BUJT).
The decision is stated in Ministerial Decree of Public Works and Public Housing Number 710/KPTS/M/2018 on the Amendments to Ministerial Decree of Public Works and Public Housing Number 382/KPTS/M/2018 on Determination of Group Types of Vehicles, Tariffs, and Integration of Toll Collection Systems in the Jakarta Outer Ring Road Section Section W1 Section (SS Penjaringan-Kebon Jeruk), North W2 Section (Kebon Jeruk-Ulujami), South W2 Section (Ulujami-Pondok Pinang), S Section (Pondok Pinang-Taman Mini), E1 Section (Taman Mini-Cikunir), E2 Section (Cikunir-Cakung), E3 Section (Cakung-Rorotan), Tanjung Priok Access Toll Road (Rorotan-Kebon Bawang), and Ulujami-Pondok Aren Toll Road.
In the press release by the Ministry, it is said that the consequences of the integration will change the tariff calculated from the average toll road rate multiplied by the average use of the toll road and the long-distance toll road users will be benefited from changes in rates compared to users traveling short distance.
