"Of the 73 buses that were prosecuted, there were 22 percent violations in the form of inactive KIR, 8 percent did not have KIR, 2 percent for KIR forgery, 18 percent for inactive supervision cards, and 50 percent for not having a supervisory card," said Rudi in an official statement, Monday, June 2.

Then, continued Rudi, based on the analysis results, there were 21 vehicles that violated more than one type of violation, while there were 52 vehicles that committed one type of violation.

"For vehicles that commit violations, sanctions are given in accordance with the types of violations committed, such as warning sanctions to ticketing by Civil Servant Investigators (PPNS) and the police in accordance with their authority," he explained.

Rudi hopes that this kind of monitoring and law enforcement activity will have a deterrent effect for the owners of people's transportation companies, as well as the drivers themselves.

Meanwhile, Director of Road Transportation Facilities and Safety Yusuf Nugroho said that the implementation of this activity was also carried out to socialize traffic safety and road transportation in the form of education and distribution of leaflets/brossies to passengers.

Furthermore, Yusuf said that with socialization, it is hoped that more people will understand the importance of knowing the condition of the vehicle before it is used or when it is going to rent.

"Every community that will use buses or other people's transportation is expected to check through the Land Partner application because it can be seen the status of the Supervision Card and the status of the KIR Test," said Yusuf.

In addition, Yusuf also gave his appreciation to all drivers and the community who supported and cooperated during the implementation of this safety inspection.

"Tidak lupa kami juga mengucapkan terima kasih kepada seluruh tim gabungan yang bertugas pada periode libur panjang ini di antaranya Pihak Kepolisian, Dishub Kabupaten Bogor, BPTD Jawa Barat, Jasa Marga serta Jasa Raharja," ucapnya.
