Jakarta (B2B) - Badan Pengatur Jalan Tol (BPJT) Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum akan menaikkan tarif jalan tol di seluruh Indonesia pada semester II tahun ini.
Kepala BPJT, Ahmad Ghani Ghazaly, kenaikan tarif berlaku pada 27 September 2013. Kenaikan tarif tol diperkirakan rata-rata 10%.
Ghani mengatakan kenaikan tarif bisa berubah tergantung nilai inflasi di setiap wilayah pada periode 1 September 2011-31 Agustus 2013. BPJT, kata dia, masih menunggu perhitungan inflasi dari Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).
"Biasanya pertengahan September akan keluar nilai inflasinya," kata Ghazaly kepada pers di Jakarta, Jumat (30/8).
Kenaikan tarif tahun ini lebih rendah jika dibandingkan dengan 2011 yang mencapai 8% hingga 12%.
Kenaikan tarif jalan tol merupakan penyesuaian berkala yang dilakukan setiap dua tahun. Dia mengatakan hal ini harus dilakukan untuk menjaga iklim investasi di sektor infrastruktur jalan tol. "Jangan sampai investor merugi dan tidak bisa balik modal."
