CIAMIS- A tourist bus accident that crashed into a vehicle and a house causing casualties on the Panumbangan tourist route, Ciamis Regency, West Java, is very concerning. This incident forced the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) to evaluate it.
"Regarding this issue, we will evaluate everything together with the police," said Director General (Dirjen) of Land Transportation, Ministry of Transportation, Budi Setiyadi when inspecting the location of the bus accident on Jalan Raya Payungsari, Dusun Pari, Village Payungsari, District Panumbangan, Ciamis, Sunday, 22 May.
He said the Ministry of Transportation had conducted an investigation of the crime scene to check the condition of the roads and buses. This includes tourism bus operational permits, which have Bali police license plates known.
The condition of the provincial roads, he said, has often been traversed by large vehicles or tourism buses because in the Panjalu area there are religious tourism destinations which are always crowded with visitors from various regions.
"What happened here, we will see the condition of the road, this is a provincial road, because above this in Panjalu there is religious tourism, many visitors also come using big buses," Budi said, to Antara.
He conveyed that the fatal incident would certainly be a concern for the government, especially the Ministry of Transportation, to improve supervision of land transportation operations and road conditions.
The results of the investigation of the crime scene, he said, also received reports from the village head and sub-district head that the road was in a small condition and was traversed by large vehicles such as tourist buses.
"Here the roads are small, not national roads, meaning that large buses are not suitable for crossing here, plus there are many descents and climbs here," he said.
Regarding the prohibition on crossing large buses, he said, it could be done, but it would have an impact on the tourism sector, so coordination with local governments was needed to find a solution.
"I will try to find a way out, at least in the near future I will take what steps to prevent accidents that are here," he said.
Previously, the tourism bus carrying a group from Tangerang, Banten was returning from a pilgrimage tour in Panjalu, Ciamis, then an accident occurred while at the derivative location.
