JAKARTA - The Directorate General of Land Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation conducted a sudden inspection (sidak) to the Xanh SM (Green SM) taxi pool in Bekasi, West Java, Tuesday, April 28, 2026 evening.
This firm step was taken following the accident involving a train at the East Bekasi Station.
Director General of Land Transportation, Aan Suhanan, stated that the raid was the main objective to ensure that the implementation of the Safety Management System for Public Transport Companies (SMK PAU) had been running according to the established standards.
Aan emphasized that in the implementation of public transportation, there are strict safety elements that must not be compromised, ranging from physical vehicle inspections before operating to ensuring the competence and health of drivers.
"In the implementation of public transportation, there are a number of safety elements that must be met in accordance with the SMK PAU. This meeting is to ensure that all aspects are carried out," said Aan as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, April 29, 2026.
He explained that the pool in Bekasi was chosen as the target of inspection because it was the operational base of vehicles suspected of being involved in the incident.
From the results of the initial examination of the completeness of the administration and the legality of the vehicle, the Ministry of Transportation found several points that required further investigation.
Aan revealed that a comprehensive evaluation would continue to the Green SM central pool in Kemayoran, Jakarta.
In addition, the Directorate General of Land Transportation also ensures that it will synergize with the police and the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) to investigate the alleged involvement of their fleet in the accident between the Cikarang KRL and the Argo Bromo Anggrek train.
"We want to ensure that the safety management system has been implemented. From the initial inspection, there are several findings that we will investigate," he added.
In line with this, the Director of Road Transport Facilities and Safety, Yusuf Nugroho, explained that this supervision refers to the Minister of Transportation Regulation Number 85 of 2018.
He emphasized that in the event of an incident, the authorities have full authority to conduct audits and inspections through direct observation in the field.
"In the event of an incident, the Directorate General of Land Transportation can conduct audits and inspections through observation and monitoring," said Yusuf.
Yusuf also warned that the results of this audit would not merely be a note on paper, but a basis for sanctions if violations of safety procedures were found.
The recommendations that will be issued could result in serious consequences for negligent public transport operators.
"The sanctions can take the form of a written reprimand, suspension of permits, to revocation of permits according to the level of violation," he concluded.
