JAKARTA - Lebak Bulus Terminal, South Jakarta will hold a Ramp-Check or check the feasibility of the Inter-City Inter-Provincial Bus (AKAP). This is done in order to avoid accidents when going back and forth later.

Head of the Lebak Bulus bus terminal, Hernanto, said that his party would conduct a ramp-check starting from April 25 to May 10.

"We together with PKB (motor vehicle examiner) Jagakarsa will hold an inspection of the fleet and bus drivers starting on D-7 Eid," Hernanto said when met at the Lebak Bulus Terminal, South Jakarta, Monday, April 18.

Hernanto explained the parts being inspected such as brakes, tires, steering, and readiness of light fire extinguishers. In addition, the driver also undergoes a medical check-up to avoid accidents while driving.

"The driver will also undergo a health check before driving the fleet," he explained.

On that occasion, Hernanto estimates that the number of passengers who will travel back and forth for Eid will increase by 100 percent. Therefore, the autobus will add to its fleet to anticipate the increase in the 2022 Eid homecoming travelers.

"From the autobus itself, we have prepared additional fleets, usually we prepare 30-40 per day maybe up to 50 homecoming flows alone," he said. Caption: Atmosphere at Lebak Bulu Terminal, South Jakarta/VOI/Jehan
