The Department of Transportation (Dishub) of Cirebon Regency gave a warning to the Otobus Company (PO) in its area because it used a bus horn that sounded telelet. Head of the Cirebon Regency Transportation Agency Hilman Firmansyah said his party found about 10 radioed telelet buses that were deemed not meeting standards and could potentially endanger other motorists. This horn is very risky and has caused several fatal accidents. Moreover, this kind of horn can invite small children to approach the bus when the horn is pressed," said Hilman in Cirebon, West Java (West Java), Tuesday, April 2, confiscated by Antara. On that finding, he continued, the Cirebon Regency Transportation Agency asked the relevant bus PO to remove and replace the standardized horn. This is done as an effort to maintain driving order.

In addition to the horning the telolet, Hilman highlighted the findings regarding the valid bus feasibility test card and the non-function of several emergency doors in the vehicle.
