Indonesia’s Ministry of Transportation is intensifying safety checks for intercity and interprovincial buses following persistent reports of violations. Inspections will focus on technical aspects of the vehicles, driver qualifications, and operational adherence to safety regulations. This move comes after a series of incidents highlighting safety concerns within the bus transport sector. Authorities report discovering numerous violations during recent sweeps, including expired vehicle registrations and unqualified drivers. The Ministry aims to reduce accidents and improve passenger safety by increasing the frequency and thoroughness of these inspections. Increased penalties for violations are also being considered to deter non-compliance, and officials are urging bus operators to prioritize safety standards. This crackdown reflects a commitment to addressing longstanding issues within Indonesia's public transportation system.
