So, to prevent criminal acts on buses, especially cases of sexual predators, we're currently diverting these officers to guard the Transjakarta service buses," he expressed, Tuesday (2/28).
Besides security officers' placement, Transjakarta has also made efforts to expand the operation of its pink bus fleet specifically for women. They also have a special room for women in each bus fleet that has surveillance cameras (CCTV).
"Hopefully, the actions of sexual predators can be suppressed by the efforts we have made. We also urge female passengers not to worry about taking Transjakarta services," he stated.
