Jembrana Police Trial Parking Retribution at Gilimanuk Ahead of Mudik

Jembrana, Bali (ANTARA) - The Jembrana Police Resort, Bali, is conducting a trial of parking retribution charges for entry to and exit from Gilimanuk Port, Bali, to ensure Lebaran Mudik 2026 flows smoothly. ‘We will coordinate with the Jembrana Regency Government to keep the mudik flow smooth, even if it has to pass through a revenue collection post,’ said Jembrana Police Resort Chief, Ajun Komisaris Besar Polisi Kadek Citra Dewi Suparwati, in Negara, Jembrana Regency, Bali, on Friday. She said there are several matters to be discussed with the relevant agencies at the Jembrana Regency Government, namely the non-cash collection technicalities at the manoeuvre parking that leads to the Gilimanuk Port entrance. One of the things to be coordinated is that the revenue post should continue to accept cash payments, because not all vehicle drivers passing through have non-cash cards. ‘For example, motorcycle riders usually do not have a card for non-cash payments because they never go through tolls,’ she said. To ensure the service at the revenue post run by the Jembrana Regency Government runs quickly, she suggested staff prepare change money. ‘All measures that support the smooth mudik will be discussed with the relevant agencies. We are confident that all government institutions want a safe and smooth mudik,’ she said. To maximise regional original income (pendapatan asli daerah), some time ago the Jembrana Regency Government implemented non-cash levies for vehicles entering and leaving Gilimanuk Port. Before entering the port access route, vehicles must pass the revenue post at the manoeuvre parking, while those leaving the port pay the retribution at Gilimanuk Terminal. Head of Public Works, Spatial Planning and Transportation of Jembrana, I Wayan Sudiarta, when contacted, has not yet given a response. During the earlier trial of non-cash retribution at Gilimanuk, Jembrana’s Secretary of Regional Government I Made Budiasa said that because it was still in the socialisation stage, they were still accepting cash payments.
