RSSIn a bid to ease congestion on the city’s streets, the Jakarta government has announced plans to start a trial run on an electronic road pricing (ERP) system in July.

The trial will be managed by 81 Kapsch, which will install on-board units (OBU) on 30 to 40 cars in June.  The OBUs will be directly linked to the car owner’s bank account and the Toll fee will be automatically deducted when the vehicle passes through the ERP gate.

If the trial is successful, the system is likely to be extended to other roads in the city.
