        "summary": "PT Jasa Marga has announced a 30 percent discount on toll fees for the return flow of Eid al-Fitr 2026, effective on 26-27 March, to mitigate traffic congestion following the projected peak on 24 March. This measure encourages travellers to adjust their journeys, with real-time traffic information provided to ensure safe and comfortable travel. Government officials report that traffic management, including expanded contraflow lanes, has effectively handled a 4.62 percent increase in vehicles during the outbound flow.",
        "content": "<p>PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk is encouraging return travellers to take\nadvantage of the toll fee discount during the Eid al-Fitr 2026 return\nflow. This policy is prepared to dampen the potential surge in vehicles\nat the peak of the return flow.<\/p>\n<p>Jasa Marga President Director Rivan Achmad Purwantono stated that a\n30 percent toll fee discount will apply on 26-27 March 2026. The peak\nreturn flow is projected to occur on 24 March 2026 based on calculations\nby the joint team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo that end, on 26 and 27 March, a 30 percent toll fee discount will\nbe implemented. We urge the public to utilise it by arranging travel\ntimes and paying attention to traffic density conditions so that the\njourney remains comfortable and safe until reaching the destination,\u201d\nsaid Rivan on Friday (20\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Rivan explained that until 06.00 WIB, around 1.6 million vehicles or\n48 percent of the total projection of 3.5 million vehicles have left\nJakarta. The vehicle flow is still dominated towards Trans-Java with a\nportion of more than 54 percent.<\/p>\n<p>On the peak outbound flow on 18 March, the number of vehicles exiting\nfrom four toll gates reached 270,315 units. This surge forms the basis\nfor the intensive implementation of traffic engineering during the Eid\nperiod.<\/p>\n<p>National Police Traffic Corps Chief Inspector General Pol Agus\nSuryonugroho stated that traffic engineering during the outbound flow\nhas been effective. Adjustments were made by expanding contraflow to\nthree lanes on several toll road sections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe outbound flow is quite controlled. This year is different\nbecause there is an increase of around 4.62 percent, from 258 thousand\nto around 270 thousand vehicles,\u201d said Agus.<\/p>\n<p>Director General of Land Transportation Aan Suhanan stated that the\ngovernment is preparing a travel arrangement scheme to face the return\nflow. Spreading travel times outside the peak is considered important to\nreduce density.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease return on 25, 26, 27 until 29 March so that the peak flow can\nbe dispersed,\u201d said Aan.<\/p>\n<p>Jasa Marga ensures that operational services continue to run during\nthe return flow. Real-time traffic information is provided to help\ntravellers determine travel times.<\/p>",
