The train accident became an evaluation material for the Central Jakarta Metro Police. The police will take preventive steps to minimize accidents around the railroad tracks.

"There are so many illegal crossings that are not equipped with latches. So of course if we studied this more deeply, what used to be not residential areas, now it has become a residential area. So, community activities are more frequent to pass the road," he said.

The Central Jakarta Metro Police will coordinate with PT KAI to address the incident and train crossings.

"The data we are still completing the risky crossings. In our area, most of them are official. Because indeed, the population density level has increased so that the activities of the people around the railroad tracks also increase," he said.
