People are always on the move for many purposes. Among them is for vacation, both individually and as a group. Today, vacation is seen not only as an enjoyment or relaxation but also a lifestyle.
Improved road infrastructure supports this trend. For example, the Trans-Java toll road now allows us to travel from Jakarta to Surabaya faster. Sumatra also sees the same thing with its Trans-Sumatra toll road.
It’s not surprising that people prefer to go on vacation togetherand rent a tour bus as their choice of transport.
However, the increasing number of accidents involving tour buses has caused people to be more cautious and choose a safe bus for their trips. It’s not easy to pick a safe one, though.
One reason for that is the tour bus’s seemingly impressive look and convincing features, as seen in, for example, its body, paint, and cabin.
According to transportation safety experts, there are tips for checking the roadworthiness of a tour bus.

Make sure you check the credibility of a tour bus rental company and its fleets. You can do that by searching for news about traffic accidents involving its buses. Make sure whether the bus you want to rent was involved in an accident. If so, choose another bus.
Make sure that the tour bus’s documents are complete and valid. You can ask a bus rental company employee to show the official operation permit from the competent agency to make sure the bus is roadworthy.
Check visible parts of the bus, and listen to the engine sound when it’s switched on. Make sure its body is in good condition and not rusted out, and not much caulk or repair.
A well-maintained bus does not look like that. Instead, it should look interesting, and its engine sounds fine.
Make sure that the bus has safety features and emergency equipment, such as first aid kits, glass breakers, fire extinguishers, emergency exits, and seat belts in each seat.

Make sure the tour bus and its provider are registered at the Ministry of Transportation. Spot the sticker on its windshield or check on the ministry’s official website.
Check the bus capacity and make sure its driver is certified. You can’t be sure if a driver is professional and experienced without verifying their qualifications.
Don’t be swayed by low prices, especially when they’re below market prices. The tour bus might not be roadworthy, its safety features are not complete, or the driver is inexperienced.
