JAKARTA - Head of the Corporate Secretary Division of PT Transjakarta Anang Rizkani Noor explained the chronology of the burning of the Transjakarta bus while crossing the Arion Bus Stop, Rawamangun, Pulogadung, East Jakarta. The bus with the number PPD 0756, which is operated by the Djakarta Passenger Transportation Public Company (Perum PPD) caught fire today at 13.55 WIB. Anang explained that this incident began with a bus which at the time of the incident was not in service and was not traveling. The bus will go to the starting point of departure at the City Bus Stop (Koridor 1). "After splitting out, the middle of the bus trip was turbo heating, so the bus system automatically turned on the light fire extinguisher (APAR) signal in the engine cabin so that it looked like smoke," said Anang in his statement, Wednesday, November 9. Anang said there were no casualties and there was no damage in this incident, but only left residue powder issued by the APAR at the Rawangun Youth Bus Stop and had been handled by the cleaning staff on duty at the bus stop. "Currently, the management of Perum PPD is conducting an evaluation of the incident today," said Anang. Anang then asked the public not to worry about using Transjakarta. He claims that his party always ensures the readiness of the fleet before and after operating as well as pays attention to health protocols on the interior and exterior of the fleet. This afternoon, the Transjakarta bus with police number B 7070 TRN caught fire at the Arion Bus Stop. A spark of fire and smoke came out of the back of the Transjakarta engine. The fire was successfully extinguished by 2 fire engines that were dispatched by the East Jakarta Gulkarmat Sub-dept. to the location. Firefighters managed to extinguish the fire for about 17 minutes. The fire was extinguished at 14:17 WIB. "Currently it has been extinguished, the status is green or the extinguishing is over," said Head of East Jakarta Gulkarmat Sub-dept. Gatot Sulaeman.
