TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - PT Jasa Marga has launched an application called JMCare which provides traffic information for toll road users during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
“The application has two main features for road users, which are the notification and the information features,” said the Assistant Vice President Corporate Communication PT Jasa Marga, Dwimawan Heru, on Friday, December 23, 2016.
According to him, the notification feature is a push notification message-based that provides traffic information in real time. “It’s for road users that use GPS on their mobile phone.”
Road users can easily look for information based on their needs. The feature is connected to Jasa Marga Traffic Information Center (JMTIC) that can be contacted at 14080. The line is available for 24 hours and is equipped with a live video streaming that is connected to Jasa Marga’s toll road CCTV cameras. The feature is also linked to Twitter.
Heru said the application can be downloaded at Play Store starting from today from any Android-based mobile phones. “And will follow soon for iOS devices on January 1, 2017.”
Jasa Marga will add other features to the app. One of them is the Smart Assistance, which can provide quick alternative routes. There is also a tow truck feature that can help the road users to request a towing assistance to the closest toll road exit.
