        "summary": "The Indonesian government is accelerating the implementation of the Multi Lane Free Flow (MLFF) touchless toll payment system following recommendations from the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) after previous disputes over its success. The Toll Road Regulatory Body (BPJT) is preparing comprehensive end-to-end trials, starting with pre-testing and functional assessments, to ensure readiness across toll infrastructure. If successful, the project\u2014valued at US$300 million and led by Hungarian firm Roatex\u2014promises to reduce queues at toll gates and enhance transaction efficiency on Indonesia's highways.",
        "content": "<p>The government is once again pushing for the acceleration of the\ntouchless toll payment system, known as Multi Lane Free Flow (MLFF),\nafter it experienced stagnation. Comprehensive trials are now being\nprepared to ensure the system is fully ready for use on Indonesia\u2019s toll\nroads. Head of the Toll Road Regulatory Body (BPJT), Wilan Oktavian,\nrevealed that the continuation of the MLFF project follows\nrecommendations from the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency\n(BPKP) at the end of last year. \u201cThis is because there were previously\ntwo differing claims, where BPJT or BUJT stated that the system had not\nsucceeded, while Roatex stated that the system had succeeded,\u201d said\nWilan Oktavian in his statement on Thursday (2\/4\/2026). As a follow-up,\nBPJT along with relevant parties is planning a re-trial on an end-to-end\nbasis. This means the entire system flow will be tested comprehensively.\nWilan also said that the trial stages are already being prepared and\nwill begin with pre-trials in the near future. In this phase, Roatex is\nobligated to prepare the Terms of Reference (TOR) as a guideline for the\ntesting implementation. Subsequently, the second stage of functional\ntesting will be conducted to complete the readiness of the toll road\ninfrastructure. Once all aspects are deemed ready, the comprehensive\npre-trial will then be carried out. \u201cFor the implementation timeline\ntarget, the principle is the sooner the better,\u201d said Wilan. The project\nis being handled by the Hungarian technology company Roatex Ltd.\u00a0through\nits subsidiary PT Roatex Indonesia Toll System (RITS), with funding\namounting to US$300 million or approximately Rp4.65 trillion. If this\ntrial runs smoothly, MLFF is expected to become a solution to alleviate\nqueues at toll gates and improve transaction efficiency on the nation\u2019s\ntoll roads.<\/p>",
