JAKARTA - PT Transjakarta has decided to follow up on the violence experienced by a Transjakarta bus driver who was slapped by a car driver with an F plate by taking it to court.

The Head of the Transjakarta Corporate Secretary Division, Anang Rizkani Noor, said that this report to the police is Transjakarta's attitude of not tolerating the violence that occurred on Thursday, August 25 that night.

"Transjakarta will oversee the incident to be processed through legal channels. This is done so that no more similar violence is experienced by the driver and all transportation workers," said Anang in his statement, Friday, August 26.

Anang emphasized that the reporting of cases of violence was carried out so that no more similar violence was experienced by drivers and all transportation workers.

Because, no matter how difficult the situation on the road, Anang hopes that the problem will be resolved properly, not with violence that will harm the public, especially transportation workers.

"Transjakarta firmly rejects all forms of violence on the road that can disrupt the smooth journey as well as the safety and comfort of customers. Transjakarta protects every transportation worker who is serving the community," he explained.

As is known, a video has gone viral on social media showing a commotion between private car drivers and Transjakarta bus drivers. This incident occurred on Jalan TB Simatupang, South Jakarta, at night.

A driver of this car came and cursed the driver of Tansjakarta through the front window on the right. The man in the Honda car felt that the Transjakarta driver would graze his vehicle from behind.

However, the video does not explain in detail the problems that caused a Honda car driver numbered F 1604 RA with the Transjakarta driver.

"So you don't understand behind your back? You don't understand behind your back, I ask?" said the man in the video shared by the Twitter account @ganarmdhn, quoted Friday, August 26.

The Transjakarta driver then replied to the man's statement. "Just next to me can enter," said the driver.

Still defending his argument, the car driver felt that he had entered the left lane first.

"I'm already halfway here (way). Then, you think using your brain," replied the man.

Emotions were running high, the man then 'played hands' by slapping the face of the Transjakarta driver and immediately left the bus and headed for his car. This incident was recorded by one of the Transjakarta passengers who was beside the driver.
