He pointed out that the absolute block system in Indonesian railways should prevent such incidents by displaying a red entry signal when a block ahead is occupied. Possible causes include signal violations, system failures, miscommunications on speed limits, procedural deviations, and other operational lapses that allowed the train to enter an occupied track.",
        "content": "<p>REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA \u2013 Public transportation expert in the\nrailway sector, Joni Martinus, has spotlighted several issues that led\nto the tragedy of the KA Argo Bromo Anggrek colliding with a KRL in the\nJabodetabek area at Bekasi Timur Station. Joni stated that the absolute\nblock system signalling principle in Indonesian railways requires the\nentry signal to be red while there is a train in the block ahead. \u201cThe\nfact that the KA Argo Bromo Anggrek was able to enter and collide with\nthe KRL in front of it is something that must be thoroughly investigated\nand given attention by the KNKT,\u201d said Joni in his statement in Jakarta\non Tuesday (28\/4\/2026). According to him, in general, there are several\nfactors that could cause a train to be rear-ended. First, violation of\nthe red signal (indication to stop) or signal passed at danger. Second,\nfailure of the signalling system resulting in the display of an\nincorrect aspect (wrong side failure). Third, miscommunication regarding\nspeed limits in the procedure for cautiously passing a red signal.\n\u201cFourth, deviation from procedures that allow a train to enter a track\nstill occupied by another train,\u201d said Joni.<\/p>",
