Jasa Marga Encourages Returnees to Utilise Toll Fare Discounts
PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk is encouraging the public to take advantage of a 30% toll fare discount on 26-27 March 2026 to help alleviate the density of the Lebaran return traffic. Jasa Marga CEO Rivan A. Purwantono stated that the discount policy is part of a strategy to distribute vehicles so as not to concentrate on the return traffic peak.
“We are once again reminding the public to utilise the toll fare discount and use the Travoy app to plan their journeys more effectively,” said Rivan, as quoted from Antara on Thursday, 26 March 2026.
He explained that Jasa Marga had passed the first phase peak of the 2026 Lebaran return traffic on 24 March in a controlled manner, although there had previously been a significant surge in vehicles. “The mudik peak on 18 March 2026 reached 270,000, the highest figure in history. The control of the first phase return traffic peak also went well,” Rivan stated.
He assessed that the utilisation of the toll fare discount is expected to encourage the public to adjust their travel times earlier. Thus, the density will not pile up at the return traffic peak estimated to occur on 28-29 March.
Rivan added that the public is also urged to utilise the app and conduct research to monitor traffic conditions and plan journeys more efficiently. “The main focus is to anticipate the return traffic peak so that vehicle distribution remains controlled,” he said.
He mentioned that Jasa Marga is optimising direct traffic monitoring through the Jasamarga Toll Road Command Center (JMTC) to support traffic engineering decision-making, such as contraflow and one-way systems.
The government, together with Jasa Marga, continues to urge road users to plan their journeys carefully, avoid peak times, and ensure that vehicles and drivers are in prime condition.
Previously, Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Pratikno, along with National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo and Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi, inspected traffic conditions at the JMTC in Bekasi on Wednesday. During the inspection, traffic conditions were monitored via the JMTC, and cross-agency coordination was conducted to anticipate the surge in vehicle volume during the 2026 Lebaran return traffic.
