JAKARTA - The Directorate of Traffic of the Polda Metro Jaya will hold a special operation ahead of the Eid al-Adha holiday. The target is for title travel and buses that do not apply the rules for the Enforcement of Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM).

"We will also carry out special operations against illicit travel," said Traffic Director of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo to reporters, Saturday, July 17.

Therefore, Sambodo appealed to people who want to travel to cancel their intentions. Especially for the bus and travel crew. Therefore, strict action will be taken with the aim of suppressing the spread of COVID-19.

"So please friends who want to travel, refrain from using dark travel. Please use the official terminals that have been set by the government," said Sambodo.

In this special operation, a number of toll roads will be blocked. So, officers can check the requirements and completeness of the passengers, for example information on negative antigen swab results and vaccines.

"We urge this, right before Eid al-Adha, all toll roads leading to West Java, Central Java and East Java are closed and inspections are carried out on all vehicles," said Sambodo.

For information, this special operation is related to the prosecution of 36 Inter-City Inter-Provincial (AKAP) buses that violate the rules for the Implementation of Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM).

The violations they committed were departing and boarding passengers without going through the terminal. In fact, all passengers traveling during the Emergency PPKM must complete certain conditions.

"There are 36 inter-city buses that have been successfully secured by a combination of friends from Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya and Land Transportation. The 36 vehicles are route violations," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus.

By not going through the terminal, passengers can pass the inspection of the completeness of the antigen swab certificate, vaccines and so on.
