Public Works Minister Dody Hanggodo has confirmed that toll tariff discounts will indeed be provided for the upcoming Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026 (Nataru) holiday period. This announcement offers welcome news for travelers planning their journeys during these peak seasons, signaling continued government support for holiday mobility.
Minister Dody elaborated that discussions concerning these crucial toll discounts are actively underway with the Toll Road Business Entities (BUJT). When pressed for details at the Ministry of Public Works office in South Jakarta on Friday, November 21st, he assured the public, “The discussions are already ongoing with the BUJT. There will be toll tariff discounts, certainly. It will be at least similar to last year’s offerings.”
Providing further context, the government has already allocated a substantial budget of Rp 180 billion for transport tariff discounts during this current Nataru holiday period (referring to Christmas 2024 and New Year 2025). These significant funds have been strategically distributed to various sectors to ease travel expenses, including discounts on train tickets, sea transport through PT Pelni, ferry crossings via PT ASDP, and even flight tickets, benefiting a broad spectrum of travelers.
Despite the confirmation of future toll discounts, Minister Dody could not provide a precise date for the official announcement regarding the specifics of these tariffs. He clarified during an event at Lemhanas, also on Friday, November 21st, that this key information would be revealed by another official. “The Economic Minister (Airlangga Hartarto) will make the announcement, not me; I coordinate with him on this matter,” Dody stated, indicating a coordinated effort in managing public information.
Furthermore, Dody touched upon an ongoing evaluation of the Toll Road Service Quality Standards (SPM) rules. This comprehensive assessment aims to ensure that all requirements and expectations of toll road users are thoroughly met, enhancing their overall experience and safety on Indonesia’s extensive toll network.
