Toll Road is one of the important infrastructures for a country to accelerate travel time from one place to another. Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road is one most travelled toll roads in Indonesia that has been established since 1988. Unfortunately, due to several causes, one of which is the presence of several projects in the Jakarta Cikampek Toll Road, congestion also occurs. This traffic jam can affect travel time and travel costs which have been considered as one of the most fundamental determinants of short and long term travel decisions. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether the congestion has an impact on the selection of consumer travel choices. Since the selection of consumer travel choices also might leads into another problem such as an excess demand, which is a problem that is needed to be solved. To answer this, this study uses a quantitative approach to the method of distributing questionnaires that have been distributed to 395 respondents. Previously, we had designed a preference questionnaire that was stated with four alternative modes: cars, travel shuttles, trains and buses using an efficient design using NGENE software. These four alternatives has some attributes which are travel time, travel costs, waiting time, access egress time, access egress cost, and congestion time. After conducting findings and analysis, the results of the study show that there is an effect of Jakarta-Cikampek Congestion on consumer travel choices where it appears that the train is the consumer's first choice. This is supported by the most influential attributes, which are travel time and travel costs which certainly have a significant negative value, where if there is an increase in the value of these attributes, people will tend not to choose the transportation modes.
