Jakarta. State-owned toll road operator Jasa Marga is offering a 20 percent discount for travelers during the peak holiday season before and during the upcoming Eid al-Fitr celebrations. The discount will only be available for eight days on several sections of the Trans Java and Trans Sumatra toll roads.

Jasa Marga’s Corporate Communication and Community Development Group Head, Lisye Octaviana, said the policy is implemented to distribute traffic flow, reduce congestion, and provide cost efficiency for toll road users.
