The checkup is in cooperation with the Transportation Agency, the Greater Jakarta Transportation Management Agency (BPTJ), the Health Office, and the Depok City National Narcotics Agency (BNN).

“A total of 35 drivers have undergone the urine test and medical check,” he said.

The checkup, said Anton, was carried out in Depok and Jatijajar Bus Stations on December 26 and 28, respectively. The result will be available in January. 

The head of National Narcotics Agency (BNN) of Depok, Adjunct Sr. Comr. Rusli Lubis, said that he would conduct a further check on the drivers who are positive for using drugs. “[They are] not allowed to continue the trip,” he said.

The urine test is conducted for the safety of bus passengers and bus crew and other road users ahead of the year-end holiday season.

“There should be no bus driver who is reckless while driving because of using drugs,” said Rusli.
