JPJ,Penang,Bus Companies

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) of Penang has reminded express bus companies in the state to provide a second driver for every journey exceeding 300 kilometers (km) to ensure passenger safety. The regulation also applies to journeys lasting more than four hours to ensure drivers get sufficient rest, thereby reducing the risk of accidents, especially fatal ones. However, many bus company operators have failed to comply with this requirement.

: Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan Pulau Pinang mengingatkan kepada syarikat bas ekspres di negeri ini supaya menyediakan pemandu kedua untuk setiap perjalanan melebihi 300 kilometer bagi menjamin keselamatan penumpang.

“Perjalanan jauh melebihi 300 km memerlukan pemandu kedua, tak boleh seorang , tetapi banyak pengusaha syarikat bas yang gagal untuk menyediakannya. Zulkifly berkata kegagalan menyediakan pemandu kedua merupakan satu kesalahan dan mana-mana syarikat yang didapati ingkar, tindakan akan diambil dengan melarang mereka daripada memulakan perjalanan sehingga peraturan itu dipatuhi.

Katanya, selain bas ekspres, operasi khas HRA itu turut menumpukan terhadap sembilan kesalahan utama yang sering dilakukan pengguna jalan raya iaitu tidak mematuhi had laju, isyarat lampu merah, memotong di garisan berkembar, memandu di lorong kecemasan dan memotong barisan.
