Two TransJakarta buses collided head-on on Corridor 13 in the Cipulir area of Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta, on Monday morning, injuring 24 passengers.
The incident occurred at approximately 07.15 WIB on the elevated busway connecting Ciledug and Tendean.
Kasubdit Gakkum Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya AKBP Ojo Ruslani said the crash took place on a two-way TransJakarta lane without a physical divider, specifically in the Swadarma section heading towards Cipulir.
The buses involved were a TransJakarta Bianglala bus with registration number B 7136 SGA, driven by Yayan, travelling from Kebayoran towards Cipulir, and a TransJakarta Mayasari Bhakti bus with registration number B 7353 TGC, driven by Arfan Sukoco, travelling in the opposite direction.
According to Detiknews, Ojo Ruslani said that the driver (Yayan) admitted that he fell asleep while driving.
“As a result, his vehicle entered the opposite lane, causing a head-on collision,” Ruslani said.
Images and videos circulating on social media showed both buses with significant damage to their front sections. Several passengers were seen leaving the vehicle and gathering near the Cipulir bus stop following the crash.
