As A Result Of Jaklingko Accident, DKI Tightens Driver Selection
JAKARTA - As an evaluation of the Jaklingko accident in Cengkareng, West Jakarta, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) is now tightening the selection of public transport drivers.
"In the future, related to driver selection, it must be tightened, of course, starting from health, background, and experience," said Special Staff to the Governor and Deputy Governor of Jakarta for Public Communication, Chico Hakim when contacted in Jakarta, Monday.
Because, said Chico, traffic in Jakarta is often chaotic. So that many things can happen if public transport drivers are not focused and careful when carrying out their duties.
Chico said the driver selection would not be applied to Jaklingko drivers.
In the future, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will also conduct driver selection for all public transportation in Jakarta. This is because the safety and comfort of public transportation passengers is everything.
Furthermore, Chico also regretted the Jaklingko accident which resulted in eight people being injured.
"We deeply regret, sympathize with the victim, eight people, some of whom suffered minor injuries but some were quite serious. Broken hands," Chico said.
Currently, Chico said that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government was investigating the cause of the accident. He also hopes that a similar incident will not happen again.
