ublic Works and Public Housing Minister Basuki Hadimuljono said on Monday that the ministry was currently studying offers from several countries to implement the multi-lane free flow (MLFF) system as part of the final phase of a nationwide, cashless toll road payment program.
The MLFF is expected to significantly reduce queues at toll gates as the system would simply scan cars for payments.
"We have yet to decide which technology [we are going to use]. There are so many options," Basuki told The Jakarta Post in Jakarta on Monday.
The ministry's directorate general of roads is currently examining the offers, he added.
"We have received offers from countries such as [South] Korea, Hungary and Japan," Basuki said.
As the government successfully implemented a cashless toll gate system using electronic money in October, Basuki was optimistic that the MLFF could be applied by December 2018, as scheduled. (bbn)
