Jakarta –

The car free day (CFD) on Jalan HR Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, will be held regularly starting Sunday, June 7, 2026, from 5:30 AM to 9:00 AM Western Indonesia Time. The Jakarta Provincial Government has prepared traffic engineering and alternative vehicle routes for residents active in the morning.

The CFD will take place on Sunday (7/6/2026) from 5:30 AM to 9:00 AM Western Indonesia Time, along a 4.4-kilometer stretch. The Rasuna Said CFD will be inaugurated on June 22, 2026, coinciding with Jakarta’s anniversary.

“Now it’s probably over 95%, in the finalization stage. So tomorrow, the car free day is the car free day that will officially be held continuously from 5:30 AM to 9:00 AM,” said the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung, to reporters in Matraman, East Jakarta, Friday (5/6/2026).

The reason for holding the CFD until 9:00 AM Western Indonesia Time is to avoid disturbing places of worship in the surrounding area. Even so, Pramono believes the Rasuna Said CFD will become a favorite spot for Jakarta residents.

“Why until 9:00 AM? Because there are several places of worship there, we don’t want to disturb them. And for the car free day on Rasuna Said or in Kuningan, I am sure this will become a new favorite place for Jakarta residents to choose whether at Gatot Subroto-Thamrin or at Rasuna Said,” he said.

The Rasuna Said CFD route stretches from Jalan Gembira to Jalan Raya Casablanca for the north-south direction, and from Jalan Prof Dr Satrio to Jalan Setiabudi Utara Raya and Jalan Setiabudi Tengah for the south-north direction.

The Jakarta Transportation Agency has prepared 10 alternative routes for traffic diversion in the Kuningan area. Additionally, residents can use the Jabodebek LRT on the Dukuh Atas-Harjamukti and Dukuh Atas-Jati Mulya routes via the Rasuna Said LRT Station and Setiabudi LRT Station.
