Jasa Marga to sell new toll vouchers

JAKARTA (JP): Toll road operator PT Jasa Marga has announced
that it would sell new vouchers with an extended validity from
one month to three months, starting in October.

Company secretary Hengki Herwanto told the media here on
Friday that it had decided to extend the date on the vouchers as
many commuters had complained about its one-month validity.

He told Antara that starting from Sept. 25, Jasa Marga would
market the vouchers, which will be valid from October through
December.

He said that the use of vouchers would speed up the lines at
toll gates. "If people must pay cash, then we need eight seconds
to serve them at the booth, but if they use a voucher we only
need two seconds," he said.

He said, however, that vouchers were only accepted at the
gates in Jagorawi, Jakarta-Cikampek, Jakarta-Tangerang, Surabaya-
Gempol and toll roads within Jakarta.

Hengki said Jasa Marga had targeted this year to have 1.7
million users of the vouchers but up until June there were 1.5
million. (06)
