Jakarta City Council's Commission B Member, Abdul Aziz, asked PT Transportasi Jakarta (Transjakarta) to implement comprehensive safety innovations across its entire fleet.

According to Aziz, Transjakarta has implemented several breakthroughs to improve customer safety. One such initiative is the installation of cameras inside buses that can detect driver conditions, including fatigue or drowsiness.

He explained that this innovation was discovered during a recent working visit by Commission B to PT Transjakarta. The innovation is deemed worthy of appreciation as part of an accident prevention effort.

However, Aziz assessed that the implementation of this technology is not yet evenly distributed across the fleet.

"The implementation needs to be immediately refined and applied across the fleet so that similar incidents do not recur," he said, Wednesday (2/25).

He also encouraged Transjakarta to continue improving by strengthening the monitoring system and improving the quality and readiness of drivers before going on duty.

"If a driver is unprepared, they should not be allowed to drive. Control systems must be strengthened to ensure passenger safety," he added.

Aziz expressed his concern over the recent collision between Transjakarta buses on Corridor 13. He hoped the incident would serve as a catalyst for a comprehensive evaluation and improvement of the regionally-owned transportation company.

"As a member of Commission B, I express my concern and condolences for the Transjakarta bus accident. We hope this incident will be taken seriously to prevent a recurrence," he hoped.
