Transportation minister 'responsible for alleged illegal flight route'

Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan should be held responsible an alleged illegal flight schedule involving budget airline AirAsia, according to Bambang Haryo, a member of House of Representatives Commission VI overseeing consumer protection.
"The transportation minister should be held equally responsible for the case. A flight-worthiness status, especially for international flights, is based on permission and approval given directly by the transportation minister," said Bambang as quoted by Antara news agency in Jakarta on Tuesday.
He insisted the airline company should not be blamed for the case relating to AirAsia flight QZ8501, which crashed into the waters of the Karimata Strait while en route from Surabaya to Singapore on Dec 28.
The lawmaker said the transportation minister had played an active role in approving the airline's flight-route permit request in accordance with Article 122 (2) of Law No.1/2009 on Flights. The law stipulates that both the network and route for international flights are determined by the minister based on transportation agreements between countries.
"The 2009 flight law explains the matter clearly. It is the Transportation Ministry that needs to be investigated and examined," said Bambang.

A New Transit Safety Narrative
December 15th, 2014 | Add a Comment
Journal of Public Transportation Article in Volume 17, Issue 4 (2014) by Todd Litman
Public transportation is, overall, a relatively safe (low crash risk) and secure (low crime risk) transport mode. Transit travel has about one-tenth the traffic casualty (injury or death) rate as automobile travel, and residents of transit-oriented communities have about one-fifth the per capita crash casualty rate as in automobile-oriented communities. Transit also tends to have lower overall crime rates than automobile travel, and transit improvements can help reduce overall crime risk by improving surveillance and economic opportunities for at-risk populations. Despite its relative safety and security, many people consider transit travel dangerous and are reluctant to use it or support service expansions in their communities. Various factors contribute to this excessive fear, including the nature of transit travel, heavy media coverage of transit-related crashes and crimes, and conventional traffic safety messages that emphasize danger rather than safety. Transit agencies can help create a new transit safety narrative by better communicating transit’s overall safety and security impacts and providing better guidance concerning how users and communities can enhance transit safety and security.
