A member of the House of Representatives Commission VI, Gde Sumarjaya Linggih, appreciates the designation of the Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) toll payment system as a National Strategic Project (PSN). "During long holidays such as Lebaran or the end of the year, many toll gates experience congestion that wastes a lot of time," he said in a statement in Jakarta on Friday. According to him, the implementation of MLFF, which allows toll users not to stop while paying at toll gates, will have a significant economic impact. Specifically, it relates to cost efficiency and the smooth flow of both passengers and goods and services. He continued, if calculated, the economic losses due to this congestion are very large. It is not only time but also the amount of fuel wasted. In Jakarta alone, according to the Ministry of Transportation, the losses due to congestion reach IDR 65 trillion per year due to fuel waste and lost time. Not to mention the social losses, from pollution to reduced family time. "It is time for this issue to be addressed with applicable and sustainable solutions, not just situational ones like traffic flow arrangements," he emphasized. MLFF has been designated as a non-State Budget (APBN) National Strategic Project (PSN) based on the Coordinating Ministerial Regulation (Permenko) Number 6 of 2024. MLFF is a toll payment method that allows road users to pass through toll gates without stopping. This system uses Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology, including systems like GPS, to manage payment transactions. With this technology, transactions can be made through the CANTAS application on smartphones, assisted by satellites. By leveraging satellite technology, the MLFF system automatically calculates toll fees based on the distance traveled by the vehicle, eliminating the need for physical toll booths and reducing the need for vehicles to stop or slow down at toll gates. Since December 12, 2023, the MLFF system has been piloted on the Mandara Bali Toll Road by the Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT), where MLFF support equipment has been installed at the toll gates as part of the trial. The MLFF system is planned to be gradually implemented starting from the Mandara Bali Toll Road in October 2024, considering readiness, infrastructure completeness, law enforcement, and community preparedness. During this transition period, the system used is Single Line Free Flow while still using barriers.
