The Transjakarta bus crashed into a number of buildings and several motorized vehicles in the Cakung area, East Jakarta, Friday, September 19, 2025, morning.
It was later discovered that Transjakarta was driven by a female driver. The accident was caused by a failed brake and the steering wheel allegedly damaged.
Even though at the time of the incident, the Transjakarta bus was operating carrying passengers.
"The victim was carrying 4 passengers, including a Transjakarta driver," the witness said to reporters, Friday, September 19, 2025.
Meanwhile, according to another resident, Wahono, he suspected that the accident was caused by a failed brake because he immediately hit a building.
"It happened at around 05.00 WIB, it was suspected that the brakes failed, there were about four shophouses that were affected because it was straight (a shophouse crash)," said Wahyu.
Wahyu suspects that Transjakarta is on the wrong track, Transjakarta should have come from the Cakung Station flyover, turning yellow but the bus was straight.
