The Ministry of Transportation Finds More than 989,176 AKAP Bus Journeys Violating Rules

JAKARTA - The Directorate General of Land Transportation (Ditjen Hubdat) of the Ministry of Transportation has found 989,176 inter-provincial intercity bus trips (AKAP) suspected of violating based on the results of digital surveillance through the Terminal Online System (TOS) application.

Director General of Land Transportation Aan Suhanan said that supervision was carried out at 115 Type A Passenger Terminals (TTA) that had implemented the TOS system.

According to him, the use of digital technology allows for more effective and measurable supervision of public transportation operations.

Based on data from January 1 to June 12, 2026, it was recorded that AKAP services departing from terminal type A reached 1,709,993 trips and the service that came in as many as 1,759,161 trips.

The number of passengers involved reached 22,769,512 people for departures and 21,790,578 people for arrivals.

"With this system, we can monitor vehicle operations more effectively and can identify various violations that could affect the safety of passengers and other road users. We have recorded a number of bus trips that are declared fit for use as well as buses that are suspected of violating," Aan said in a statement, Monday, June 15.

From the results of monitoring vehicles departing from terminal type A, the Directorate General of Transportation found that as many as 989,176 trips or 57.85 percent were suspected of violating.

Meanwhile, as many as 720,817 trips or 42.15 percent were not found to be in violation.

For AKAP buses that come to terminal type A, a total of 1,011,044 trips or 57.47 percent were indicated to have violated.

Meanwhile, 748,117 trips or 42.53 percent were not found to be in violation.

Aan explained that the violations found were mostly administrative.

However, he continued, the violation still has the potential to affect the safety and operational compliance aspects of public transportation.

"The results of the supervision we carried out, several administrative violations were found. It was recorded that the most violations found included route deviations, the validity of periodic vehicle tests or BLUe which had expired, and the Surveillance Card (KPS) which was no longer valid," he said.

In detail, on the bus departing from terminal type A, 579,641 violations of route deviations were found, 265,673 violations of the validity of periodic vehicle tests that had expired, and 447,961 violations of the validity of KPS that had expired.

Meanwhile, on buses that came to terminal type A, 577,788 violations of route deviations were found, 287,068 violations of the validity of periodic vehicle tests that had expired, and 474,185 violations of the validity of KPS which were no longer valid.

According to Aan, the findings are an important note for the government to continue to increase supervision while encouraging compliance by public transportation operators with all applicable provisions.

"Compliance of operators with vehicle administrative and technical requirements still needs to be improved because this is the basic thing that must be met to ensure public safety. Of course, this finding will also be the basis for our evaluation in the future to continue to strengthen supervision and improve training for operators," he said.

The Directorate General of Transportation also noted a number of bus companies (PO) that violated the most, namely PT SSR, PT EMPS, PT PP, PT SJML, and PT BDM.

Regarding these companies, the Ministry of Transportation has taken action and will continue to follow up on the results of supervision through coaching, periodic supervision, and strengthening of digital systems.

"Our principle is clear, safety must be the top priority and we appeal to all operators to ensure that the fleet is roadworthy by meeting all technical and administrative requirements. So that the public can get safe, comfortable, and safe services," concluded Aan.
