The Bogor Traffic Police conducted safety checks on several buses at\nCitereup, Bogor, West Java. Officers discovered that a number of buses\nwere not equipped with proper safety equipment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe found that several vehicles had not installed the components they\nshould have,\u201d said Head of Traffic Unit Iptu Afif Widhi Ananto to\njournalists on Monday (16 March 2026). \u201cFor example, some lack fire\nextinguishers and seatbelts in the driver\u2019s area are not properly\ninstalled,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Afif stated that the ramp check was conducted jointly with the\nDepartment of Transport, Department of Health, and Jasa Raharja\ninsurance. He explained that buses passing inspection and deemed\nroadworthy would receive a safety certificate sticker from the\nDepartment of Transport.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe purpose of this ramp check is to verify safety readiness from\nboth the driver and vehicle perspective. Vehicles that do not meet\nrequirements are ordered to complete their installations before\nreceiving a roadworthiness certificate from the Department of\nTransport,\u201d said Afif.<\/p>\n
In addition to vehicle inspections, joint officers checked the\nreadiness of bus drivers and conductors. They underwent urine tests to\nensure they were not under the influence of narcotics.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlhamdulillah, we have not found any significant issues. Drivers are\nin good health and none tested positive for narcotics,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe test everything from pre-checks through to brakes and lights.\nThere are 27 components tested in total. We hope everything goes\naccording to plan so that both drivers and passengers can have\ncomfortable journeys during the homecoming and holiday periods,\u201d said\nDadang.<\/p>\n
Dadang confirmed that none of the checked buses had installed\n\u201ctelolet\u201d modified horns. If any are discovered, they will be\nremoved.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe ensure there are none. We will take action today if we find any\nunusual sounds. We aim to inspect approximately 50 buses scheduled for\nramp checks today.
