JAKARTA - The flow of passengers at the Kampung Rambutan Inter-City Inter-Provincial Bus Terminal (AKAP), East Jakarta ahead of the Christmas and New Year holidays began to be congested on Wednesday, December 21.

Prospective passengers dominate the departure of the island of Sumatra. The surge in passengers occurs about 50 percent from usual.

Along with the density of bus passengers, the Transportation Service officers conducted a ramp check on the operating bus fleet.

However, in the middle of the investigation, there was a riot between the autobus company management (PO Bus) and the ramp check officer. The PO Bus management objected because the inspection did not match the specified point.

"Ramp Check if (the bus vehicle) fails (departing) we transfer it to another vehicle," said Head of Kampung Rambutan Terminal Yulza Ramadoni, Wednesday, December 21.

The vehicle inspection was carried out to ensure the safety of Christmas and New Year's transportation trips. Officers give a stern warning to PO Bus to replace the tires of vehicles that are no longer suitable for walking.

After an explanation was made with the head of the terminal, one of the PO administrators finally understood the task carried out by the ramp check officers at the Kampung Rambutan Terminal.

"If it is still tolerated, we will still send the bus," he said.
