Ancol Reviews New Tariff Scheme and Special Zone After JIS Bridge Inauguration

PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol Tbk is conducting an in-depth evaluation of its entry tariff scheme following the inauguration of a pedestrian bridge connecting Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) with the Ancol area. The move aims to optimise intermodal integration and visitor accessibility between the two strategic locations.

President Director of PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol Tbk, Syahmudrian Lubis, revealed that the company is reviewing the creation of a ‘special zone’. Under the scheme being assessed, visitors entering through this specific zone would likely not be charged a per-person entry fee, but only a vehicle parking tariff.

‘We are currently reviewing the tariff for parts of Ancol where we may not charge a fee per person. So there will be a special zone where only parking fees apply. People will no longer be charged an entrance fee there,’ Syahmudrian stated at JIS Station on Monday (22/6).

However, he stressed that this policy would only apply to access within that particular zone. Visitors wishing to enjoy the recreational rides within Ancol will still be subject to the existing ticket tariffs as per the applicable regulations. Currently, Ancol still applies a flat rate for car entry, but management is committed to offering price flexibility at certain times to attract public interest.

The pedestrian bridge was inaugurated alongside the JIS KRL Station by DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo and Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi. The infrastructure is expected to provide a permanent solution to the transportation issues that have plagued major events at JIS.

Governor Pramono Anung stated that the integration of the KRL Station, Transjabodetabek, and the pedestrian bridge to Ancol will significantly reduce traffic loads. With this connection, visitors using private vehicles have the option to park in Ancol’s parking pockets and then walk to JIS via the bridge. ‘This will greatly reduce the traffic congestion that has been the main problem every time there is a music concert or football match at JIS,’ Pramono concluded.
