DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung spoke out about the accident involving two Transjakarta buses in Corridor 13 on the Puri Beta-Tegal Mampang route. Pramono said that the collision of the Transjakarta bus was caused by a human error experienced by the bus driver with the operator code BMP 263, so that it hit the bus with the code MYS 17100.

"Actually, if in TransJakarta the management is quite neat. This is a human error, not because of anything. So human error may be sleeping less because of fasting and so on, so that the bus then crosses or crosses, against the direction," said Pramono in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta.

Based on a report from the Transjakarta party, Pramono revealed that the driver named Yayan, this morning was indeed in a sleepy state due to working with long sif, or two consecutive days.

"It's true that working two days, you might be sleepy because you can't control it, and finally it ends up going into what, the opposite lane. As a result, MYS 17100 bus collided," said Pramono.
