Jakarta –
PT Waskita Toll Road (PT WTR) menjadi satu-satunya Badan Usaha Jalan Tol (BUJT) yang berbeda dengan BUJT lain. Ketika semua BUJT memberi diskon 20% untuk kendaraan pribadi, WTR menerapkan diskon 35% khusus untuk truk di jalan Tol Krian – Legundi – Bunder. Usut punya usut, kebijakan itu ditempuh dengan satu pertimbangan.
“Karena di jalan nasional itu sering ada pengajian dan lain lain ya, jadi supaya membantu masyarakat juga supaya kalau ada acara hajatan mau lebaran lancar,” ucap Presiden Direktur WTR, Daniel Fitzgerald Liman, dalam agenda ‘Media Gathering Kesiapan Infrastruktur Mendukung Mudik Lebaran 2024’ di Hotel Grandhika, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Selatan, Selasa (2/4/2024).
Daniel kemudian menjelaskan bahwa hal ini termasuk dalam aspek pertimbangan kearifan lokal. Di sisi lain, Daniel menjelaskan pihaknya juga menyasar segmentasi diskon kepada truk untuk menjaga kondusifitas di jalan.

Pertimbangan lainnya, diskon sebesar 35% diberikan dengan pertimbangan budgeting oleh para supir truk agar mau masuk tol. Di sisi lain, ia pun mengungkap pihaknya tidak memberikan diskon 20% untuk kendaraan pribadi.
“Kalau buat truk mungkin uang sakunya terbatas ya, jadi kalau 35% gamau masuk,” jelasnya.
“Pribadi gak diskon malah kalau di sini,” imbuhnya.
Sebelumnya berdasarkan catatan detikcom, Menteri Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono menyampaikan ruas-ruas jalan tol yang akan mendapatkan diskon tarif selama periode libur Lebaran 2024. Terdapat setidaknya 14 ruas yang akan mendapat diskon, salah satunya adalah jalan Tol Krian – Legundi – Bunder.
Diskon disebut diberikan sebesar 14-35% untuk kendaraan non Golongan I, rinciannya yakni Golongan II dan IV mendapat diskon sebesar 14%, lalu Golongan IV dan V mendapat diskon sebesar 35%.

PT Waskita Toll Road (PT WTR) is the only toll road business entity that differs from others by offering a 35% discount specifically for trucks on the Krian – Legundi – Bunder toll road. This policy was implemented to support local events and festivities to ensure smooth traffic flow. The President Director of WTR, Daniel Fitzgerald Liman, explained that this decision was made considering local wisdom and to maintain road safety by targeting discounts for trucks.
The 35% discount was also aimed at encouraging truck drivers to use the toll road, as their budgets may be limited. However, the company did not offer a 20% discount for private vehicles. This decision was made to accommodate the financial constraints of truck drivers. Previously, Minister of Public Works and Housing Basuki Hadimuljono announced that 14 toll road sections, including the Krian – Legundi – Bunder toll road, would offer discounted rates during the 2024 Eid holiday period. The discounts ranged from 14% to 35% for non-Class I vehicles.
Overall, PT Waskita Toll Road’s decision to offer a higher discount for trucks on a specific toll road was made to support local events, ensure road safety, and accommodate the financial limitations of truck drivers. This differentiated approach highlights their commitment to maintaining a conducive road environment during festive seasons.
