Bogor City -A total of 16 urban transport (Angkot) was caught in an attack conducted by the Bogor City Government and Bogor police on Jalan Pajajajaran, Bogor City, West Java (Western Java). The public transport caught in the attack was confiscated because it was considered dangerous to the driver and passengers. “From today’s activities, there are 16 public transport routes 06 to 13 whose condition is technically impossible and dangerous, both for passengers and drivers. We are working with the Bogor City police. This is important because there are two authorities that we should jointly maintain and execute,” said Deputy Mayor of Bogor Jenal Mutaqin, 15/10/2025). Jenal said the 16 illegal Angkots were then taken to a vehicle shelter belonging to the Bogor City Transportation Department (Dishub). Dozens of public transport will be evaluated regarding their operations. Browse to continue with the content “for the 16 public transport that was insured earlier, there will be an evaluation. If the vehicle is technically no longer possible, it can no longer be allowed to work because it puts passengers at risk,” Jenal says. Jenal said a number of public transport vehicles were found during the attack that were not equipped with vehicle documents and that drivers did not have identification and driving permits. A number of public transport have even been found, such as petrol pipes connected to mineral water bottles, making it dangerous. “Such public transport is no longer suitable for operation. The danger is large. Earlier, the technical person (from the Department of Transport) was checked directly, the car starter was not in place, the cables were spread. It could burn the seats short and the seats,” Jenal said. “There are also those whose guest box has been replaced with mineral water bottles. The iron gas pipes are short, linked to drinking bottles and closed with bottle caps. It is dangerous, though we know they are trying to survive,” he added. Jenal added that the revival, reduction of old public transport and conversion programs is still underway in Bogor City. The attack was held as an attempt to control public transport over 20 years old. “The reloading, reduction and converting program for public transport is still ongoing. We have provided compensation twice, first an extension of ten years, and then added more until there is an agreement. We still do this because we still consider the economic conditions of the community.
