        "content": "<p>REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA \u2013 The first motor vehicle-free day (HBKB) or\ncar free day (CFD) on Jalan HR Rasuna Said in South Jakarta was crowded\nwith thousands of residents exercising on Sunday (10\/5\/2026). The\nJakarta Provincial Government stated that the event will become a\nroutine agenda starting 1 June 2026. Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said\nthe CFD in the Rasuna Said area was held to welcome the 499th\nanniversary of Jakarta City while introducing the new face of the area\nas a city icon. \u201cThe first is Jakarta\u2019s 499th anniversary, why is it\nheld on Rasuna Said Street? We want to show the public that Jakarta is\nimproving to have a new icon on this street,\u201d said Pramono on Jalan HR\nRasuna Said on Sunday (10\/5\/2026) morning. The Jakarta Provincial\nGovernment is currently still carrying out arrangements in the Rasuna\nSaid area, including the dismantling of hundreds of monorail poles that\nhave been neglected for decades. Road and sidewalk arrangements are also\nstill ongoing and targeted to be completed in June 2026. \u201cIt\u2019s not\nfinished yet, but next month it will definitely be completed,\u201d said\nPramono. According to Pramono, residents\u2019 enthusiasm was evident from\nthe morning. He claimed to have directly toured to see community\nactivities utilising the new public space. The Jakarta Provincial\nGovernment also plans to make the Rasuna Said CFD a weekly routine\nactivity. \u201cAnd earlier, friends must have seen the atmosphere of the car\nfree day we held here, which started at 05.30 the same as in\nSudirman-Thamrin, it will be effectively carried out from 1 June,\u201d he\nsaid. Several residents welcomed the presence of the new CFD location.\nImas, a Manggarai resident, admitted it was easier to access Rasuna Said\ncompared to the Sudirman-Thamrin area. \u201cI used to join but in Sudirman,\nhere it\u2019s closer to home,\u201d she said while running with her child.\nAnother resident, Ayu, also assessed that the presence of CFD Rasuna\nSaid provides a new alternative sports space for Jakarta residents. \u201cI\u2019m\nin Kuningan, so it\u2019s indeed closer here. Happy there\u2019s a new location,\nso the choice isn\u2019t just going there (Sudirman), here too. Residents in\nEast Jakarta are also closer here,\u201d said Ayu. Nevertheless, she assessed\nthat traffic arrangements still need to be improved because several\nTransjakarta buses were seen having difficulty passing due to residents\ncrossing haphazardly. \u201cYes, that might need to be improved, perhaps by\nincreasing the number of guards so that unwanted things don\u2019t happen,\u201d\nshe said.<\/p>",
