The Bogor Regency Transportation Service (Dishub), West Java, is finalizing the rules for prohibiting bus vehicles from entering alternative routes to the Puncak tourist area during the Christmas and New Year periods.
Head of the Traffic Division of the Bogor Regency Transportation Agency, Dadang Kosasih, said that this regulation was being discussed with stakeholders to reach an agreement in an official forum.
"The rules will be formulated first. The hope is that all parties agree that large vehicles are not allowed through alternative roads," said Dadang.
This ban is designed following the high number of accidents involving large vehicles on the Puncak alternative route. The narrow and steep road is considered inadequate for large-weight vehicles.
"We hope that big buses are prohibited from crossing, except for vehicles size 3/4, but this certainty is waiting for the results of the forum," he added.
In the last four months, two incidents of tourist bus accidents have been recorded on the Puncak alternative route. The incident left dozens of victims, with details of one person dead, two seriously injured, 24 lightly injured, and 25 people traumatized.

If this rule is approved, the Bogor Regency Transportation Agency will immediately conduct socialization through the installation of notification banners and prohibition signs along alternative routes.
"Socialization will be carried out by putting up banners and prohibition signs at the location," Dadang concluded.
This step is expected to improve the safety of road users and reduce the risk of accidents in tourist areas that are crowded with visits during long holidays.
