Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub)\nhas revealed important findings regarding the readiness of bus fleets\nduring the 1447 Hijriah Eid transportation period. From tens of\nthousands of vehicles inspected, thousands were found to violate\nregulations and thus prohibited from operating.<\/p>\n
The Directorate General of Land Transportation of Kemenhub recorded\nthat safety inspections or ramp checks were conducted on 60,946 bus\nunits from 23 February to 23 March 2026. The composition of inspected\nvehicles was dominated by intercity interprovincial (AKAP) buses.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom that number, 27,635 or 45.34% are AKAP fleets, 27,461 or 45.06%\nare AKDP vehicles, tourist transport 2,651 or 4.35%, and other\ncategories 3,199 or 5.25%,\u201d stated Director General of Land\nTransportation Aan Suhanan in his remarks, quoted on Wednesday\n(25\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
From the inspection results, many vehicles were declared roadworthy.\nHowever, a significant number were found to have issues, both technical\nand administrative, resulting in a total of more than 9,000 buses\nprohibited from operating.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are those with Repair Warnings (Technical Support Violations)\nnumbering 13,116 units or 21.52%. Receiving fines and Operational Bans\n(Administrative Violations) 1,941 units or 3.18%, and Operational Bans\n(Major Technical Violations) 7,131 units or 11.70%,\u201d explained Aan.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the drivers inspected were healthy and fit to drive, namely\n634 people or about 92.83%. Meanwhile, 40 people or 5.86% are fit to\ndrive with notes, and 9 drivers were declared unfit to drive,\u201d he\nrevealed.<\/p>\n
