The Directorate General of Land Transportation, Ministry of\nTransportation, continues to enhance safety aspects in passenger\ntransport by conducting safety inspections (ramp checks) on bus fleets\nat Type A Terminals (TTA) across Indonesia. These safety inspections are\ncarried out using the Terminal Online System (TOS) application.<\/p>\n
Director General of Land Transportation Aan Suhanan revealed that\nduring the supervision and inspection period from 1 January to 3 April\n2026, the Directorate General of Land Transportation examined 963,859\ndeparting trips at 115 TTA locations.<\/p>\n
From these inspections, the Directorate General found 576,280 trips\n(59.78%) that violated regulations, while 387,576 trips (40.21%) were\ndeclared non-violating.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe types of violations are varied, ranging from route deviations,\nexpired proof of passing tests or BLU, and KPS that have also exceeded\ntheir validity period,\u201d said Aan in Jakarta on Monday (6\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
The details of violations found on buses departing from 115 TTA\nlocations include 325,913 route deviation violations, followed by\n154,236 violations of proof of passing test validity periods, and\n278,179 violations of supervision card (KPS) validity periods or permits\nfor organising passenger transport.<\/p>\n
Aan also provided a recapitulation of inspections on incoming\npassenger transport at 115 TTA locations for the period 1 January\u20133\nApril 2026, with a total of 993,155 bus trips inspected. The results\nshowed 401,981 trips (40.48%) with no violations, while 591,174 trips\n(59.52%) were declared violating.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany violations are still found in incoming passenger transport at\nterminals, so they are not declared roadworthy. We have conducted ramp\nchecks on more than 900,000 bus trips arriving at terminals, and over\n500,000 or about 59% of them were declared to have violations,\u201d Aan\ncontinued.<\/p>\n
Based on the inspection results for violating buses, several\nviolations were found, including 324,131 route deviation violations,\n168,031 proof of passing test validity period violations, and 296,140\nKPS validity period violations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have also recorded and taken action against five bus companies\n(PO) with the most violations, namely PT SSR, PT EMPS, PT BDM, PT PP,\nand PT SJML. We have requested clarification from these five operators\nregarding the violations found on their vehicles,\u201d said Aan.<\/p>\n
The Directorate General of Land Transportation will use the results\nof this supervision and inspection as material for evaluation and will\nconsistently tighten oversight of passenger transport in the future for\nthe safety of the public and smooth traffic. Aan hopes that all\npassenger transport operators will comply with all applicable provisions\nfor the safety and comfort of passengers.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur principle is that safety is the priority. Therefore, we urge all\nbus operators and drivers to operate roadworthy fleets. Ensure that\nofficial vehicle completeness documents that are still valid are always\ncarried, ensure drivers are in good health, and always prioritise\npassenger safety and comfort,\u201d said Aan.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ministry-of-transportation-ramp-checks-find-over-half-of-bus-trips-violate-regulations-1775638343", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
