Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – PT Jasa Marga Tbk (JSMR) offers a discount for class I (private vehicles) passing through the Cipularang and Padaleunyi toll roads, after raising the rates previously.

“The discount applied is a rate discount for Group I. With this discount, Class I road users pay the rate in accordance with the original amount before the rate is adjusted (initial rate). Due to the need of applying equipment system configurations, this rate discount applies from Sunday (09/06) at 00.00 WIB, “said Dwimawan Heru, director of the Community Development and Corporate Communication Group of Jasa Marga, in a statement from press received on Saturday (05/09/2020).

“Dear PT JASA MARGA @ oficial.jasamarga. It is not wise to raise rates in a difficult economic situation during this pandemic. An economy with a potential recession will only be aggravated by this business policy. Because its derived economic subsectors will also increase,” he wrote Saturday. (5/9/2020).
“Other public companies are competing to reduce, reduce, reduce, subsidize, this actually increases the burden of economic costs. Please put it off and review until the economic situation improves, because that is part of defending your country.”
