JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) has eliminated the implementation of a motorized vehicle free day (CFD) in Sudirman-Thamrin and 5 locations for each administrative city in Jakarta on May 25, 2025.

"The motorized vehicle-free day on Sunday, May 25, 2025 was abolished in order to secure international activities," said Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, to reporters, Friday, May 23.

The abolition was in connection with the arrival of Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang to fulfill President Prabowo Subianto's invitation.

"There are State guests, namely the Chinese PM whose activities will pass through the Sudirman-Thamrin area," said Syafrin.

Li Qiang is scheduled to visit Indonesia from Saturday, May 24 to Monday, May 26, 2025 to undergo diplomatic activities with Prabowo.

Syafrin said that the elimination of CFD was in accordance with Article 5 paragraph (1) of the DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation Number 12 of 2016 concerning the Implementation of Motor Vehicle Free Day.

"The article stipulates that the implementation of the HBKB can be canceled if the simultaneous time is also held a special, national or international event, where these activities require a special traffic control and security," said Syafrin.
