Government cuts toll fares to manage Eid al-Fitr traffic flow
“In general, the toll fare discount will be implemented for four days, from March 15–16, 2026 (homebound flow) and March 26–27, 2026 (return flow),” Hanggodo said in a statement issued on Monday.
He said the discount will generally amount to around 30 percent for all vehicle categories. The reduction will apply to long-distance travel (barrier gate to barrier gate) using electronic payment methods. The discount will not apply if the electronic toll balance is insufficient or if the system fails to detect the vehicle’s origin or classification.
The four-day discount period — March 15–16 (homebound) and March 26–27 (return) — excludes several toll roads with different schedules: Tangerang–Merak Toll Road (March 12–13 and March 31–April 1, 2026), Kayuagung–Palembang Toll Road (additional discounts on March 14, 28 and 29, 2026), and Cimanggis–Cibitung Toll Road (March 21–22, 2026).
In addition, the Becakayu Toll Road has implemented a dynamic pricing discount of 10–20 percent through March 31, 2026, while the Cibitung–Cilincing Toll Road has offered discounts ranging from 12–44 percent for Category II–V vehicles through April 30, 2026.
Hanggodo said the policy aims to prevent excessive congestion on peak travel days.
“The toll discount is intended to avoid excessive buildup on the main holiday dates. With this incentive, we expect travelers to depart and return earlier than the projected peak periods. We also hope more four-wheeled vehicles will use toll roads, reducing the burden on national roads,” he said.
A total of 29 toll road sections will apply fare discounts during the 1447 Hijri / 2026 Eid al-Fitr holiday period, comprising four sections in the Greater Jakarta corridor, 10 along the Trans-Java corridor, four non–Trans-Java sections, and 11 along the Trans-Sumatra corridor.
