JAKARTA - Head of the Transjakarta Corporate Secretary Division, Anang Rizkani Noor, explained the chronology of the accident involving a Transjakarta bus and a cyclist who died.
Anang explained, On Sunday, July 10 at 14:10 WIB, the bus had just started after stopping at the Attaqwa Mosque Bus Stop in the direction of Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta.

After the incident, the victim's body was evacuated and taken to the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) for an autopsy. The victim's family can understand the incident.
Anang said that Transjakarta then reported the incident to the Pancoran Traffic Accident Unit to be processed according to regulations.
