Viral! Asisten Masinis Bongkar Dugaan Error Sinyal di Balik Tabrakan KA Argo Bromo I Trijaya Update

A statement from the Argo Bromo train's assistant driver following the train accident at East Bekasi Station on Monday, April 27, 2026, has circulated on social media. In a video uploaded by the account @S_Prasetia, the Argo Bromo train's assistant driver stated that the collision involving a long-distance train and a Commuter Line train was not caused by miscommunication. According to him, the accident between the Argo Bromo train and the Bekasi train was due to a malfunctioning signaling system. The Argo Bromo train's assistant driver also admitted to having heard about the KRL accident involving a taxi that blocked the track. However, before receiving more detailed information, the train signal changed from green to red. "It wasn't a miscommunication, it seems there was a signal error. I was informed earlier (of an accident), but I hadn't copied the full information before the signal went red," said the assistant train driver, quoted on Tuesday, April 28, 2026. The signal change malfunctioned, preventing the long-distance train from taking any significant action. Furthermore, the Argo Bromo Anggrek train was traveling at a speed of 110 km/h. "It's not a sudden signal change. But it shouldn't have been red because the signal was green from Bekasi," said the assistant train driver. "The connection should be, if green here (East Bekasi) is at most yellow, it can't be red," he continued. For your information, train traffic is equipped with signal-based safety mechanisms. According to the official PT KAI website, signals and telecommunications (Sintel) play a vital role in ensuring safe train travel, both single- and double-track. The signal function is to secure trains entering, leaving, and exiting the station. #trijayafm #news #radio #breakingnews #kaargobromoanggrek #krl #traincollision #eastbekasi
