The Social Welfare Foundation as the manager plans to gather a study tour committee to discuss the selection of a tourism bus that leads to unfortunate fate on the Ciater derivative road, Subang Regency, West Java.

"Regarding the vehicle, we will call the organizing committee. Including the travel. The committee is the teachers," said Secretary of the Social Welfare Foundation Deddy Ahmad Mustofa during a press conference at Lingga Kencana Vocational School, Depok City, as reported by ANTARA, Sunday, May 12.

The foundation management wants to dig up information as clearly as possible, starting from the reasons for choosing the travel service provider, to the condition of the driver and bus vehicle used in tourism work activities to Bandung.

The information excavation process will be carried out after the condition of the committee who also participated in the study tour stabilizes.

"The children who have returned home are still traumatized. The teachers who participated did not come to the story but burst into tears. Now wait for calm first," said Deddy.

The victim's uncle Robiatul Adawiyah, Robby Kurnia Akbar, complained that the condition of the bus used to transport the study tour group of students at the Lingga Kencana Vocational School, had not been maintained.

"We have to see from the feasibility of the car, the main factor is that I saw that the car was really old and lacking treatment," said Robby.

"If we work together with the foundation in the future, we will make efforts to get to the bus PO. I don't want to interfere with bus business, let the school handle it," he said.
