Jakarta (ANTARA) - The management of Kampung Rambutan Bus Terminal in\nEast Jakarta has intensified safety roadworthiness inspections, or \u201cramp\nchecks,\u201d on inter-city buses during the Eid 2026 migration surge.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis bus ramp check is one of the measures taken to ensure all\nvehicles transporting holiday travellers are in safe and roadworthy\ncondition,\u201d said Kampung Rambutan Bus Terminal Head Revi Zulkarnain at\nthe terminal in East Jakarta on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The inspections are conducted through a service post, one of three\nestablished during the Eid transport period. The checks are conducted in\ncooperation with the Pulogadung Motor Vehicle Testing Unit and the East\nJakarta Sub-district Transport Services.<\/p>\n
According to Revi, inspectors examine three main aspects of each bus\nbefore departure: vehicle documentation, principal vehicle systems and\nancillary systems.<\/p>\n
Beyond documentation, inspections focus on the principal vehicle\nsystems that directly relate to journey safety. Components inspected\ninclude brake systems, steering, wheels and vehicle lights. Revi\nemphasised that there is zero tolerance for defects in this\ncategory.<\/p>\n
These principal systems are critical as they directly impact safety.\n\u201cIf anything is not functioning properly, such as faulty brakes or worn\ntyres, the vehicle cannot be dispatched and must cease operations,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, inspectors also conduct checks on vehicle ancillary\nsystems. Equipment inspected includes first aid kits, jacks, warning\ntriangles, emergency glass-breaking tools and fire extinguishers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe equipment available within the vehicle becomes a mandatory\ncompliance requirement that every bus must meet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Revi explained that inspections began in mid-March as part of\npre-holiday transport checks. Subsequently, inspections will continue\nthroughout the Eid transport period.<\/p>\n
\u201cPre-holiday transport inspections have already begun. The Eid\ntransport period runs from 13 March 2026 to 31 March 2026,\u201d Revi\nsaid.<\/p>\n
If critical system defects are discovered during inspection, the bus\ncannot operate until repairs are made. If repairs can be completed\non-site and the vehicle is declared roadworthy, the bus is permitted to\ncontinue its journey.<\/p>\n
However, if defects cannot be repaired or if additional problems are\nfound in critical systems, the vehicle will be taken out of service to\nprotect passenger safety.<\/p>\n
Through these inspections, terminal management hopes that all bus\nfleets serving the Eid holiday migration are in prime condition,\nensuring travellers have a safe and comfortable journey.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/kampung-rambutan-terminal-tightens-bus-safety-inspections-during-eid-exodus-1773579108", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
