Jakarta, Delhi: close to deciding on congestion pricing?
Heavy traffic in Jakarta.
Jakarta came one step closer to implementing the much-anticipated electronic road pricing (ERP) system after the President signed Government Regulation (PP) No. 32/2011 on Traffic Management and Engineering. The PP regulated steps to implement ERP, which includes planning, managing traffic, procurement and preparing road facilities. Aside from Jakarta, Delhi is also planning to introduce congestion charge to ease gridlock. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi hopes to introduce a system to levy 150-rupee (ÂŁ2) fee on cars, motorbikes and even rickshaws entering central areas during the day.
