JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is ready to test the implementation of a motorized vehicle-free night (Car Free Night / CFN) in the Jalan MH Thamrin and Sudirman areas on July 5, 2025 as well as the celebration of the Islamic New Year.
"'Soft launching' actually. We want to start, the students will come from Monas, later we will carry an electric torch. It's about 10,000 people. This welcomes 1 Muharam and the 'Car Free Night' trial," said Deputy Governor of Jakarta Rano Karno at Jakarta City Hall, Wednesday, July 2.
Later, 10,000 students carrying torchs will start from the National Monument (Monas) area to the Hotel Indonesia (HI) roundabout.
The event will start around 19.00 WIB. In addition to the torch relay, the activities will also be enlivened by tausiah and the performances of musicians such as Opick and Gigi's band.
"Around the front of the fountain, the stages began to be installed. On July 5 it will start at 7 pm. God willing, there will be tausiah, there will be Opick, then there will be Gigi who will enliven our celebrations," said Rano.
The implementation of "Car Free Night" is one of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's strategies to reduce carbon emissions. Activities will start at 22.00 WIB.
The DKI Provincial Government (Pemprov) has conducted studies and discussions with related parties regarding this matter.

According to Rano, the increase in the duration of free time for motorized vehicles also has an impact on increasing community happiness.
The DKI Provincial Government stated that CFN would not interfere with events such as weddings held in buildings around Sudirman-Thamrin.
This is because it is income from hotels around the CFN route. For this reason, the DKI Provincial Government is reluctant to burden the hotel parties.
