JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung appealed to the public who will attend the New Year's Eve celebration in 2026 to use public transportation. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has prepared free public transportation services to support citizen mobility to the celebration points.
The local government has also prepared a number of parking bags. However, Pramono hopes that residents will use public transportation that has been provided and managed by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.
"Although the DKI Jakarta Government has also prepared parking pockets, but because all transportation has been free of charge, we appeal and hope that everyone can enjoy public transportation which is regulated and managed by the DKI Jakarta Government," said Pramono at the DKI Jakarta City Hall, Thursday, December 31.
Pramono said that the 2026 New Year celebration in Jakarta was held with a different approach. The theme of this year's celebration was set as "Jakarta Global City From Jakarta With Love".
Pramono chose a simple concept in holding the New Year's Eve celebration 2026 as a form of empathy and solidarity with the people in West Sumatra, North Sumatra, and Aceh who are currently suffering from disasters.
"We will hold an event at eight points with the Forkopimda, but the most important one will be at HI roundabout," said Pramono.
The DKI Provincial Government emphasized that it would not hold a fireworks or firecracker party. All series of events were packaged in a simple manner and spread across a number of points in the central city area.
"Everything is simple, there is no fireworks, no firecrackers, namely at Lapangan Banteng, Sarinah, BNI Dukuh Atas, Semanggi, Indonesia Stock Exchange, FX Sudirman, with a center at HI Roundabout," he said.
In addition to the main point, the celebration was also held at 12 city-level locations spread across various areas of Jakarta and the Thousand Islands, ranging from Old Town, Ancol, Literacy Park, M Bloc Space, Setu Babakan, JIS, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, to Untung Island Java Thousand Islands.
For information, the DKI Provincial Government will hold a New Year's Eve celebration in 2026 with 8 entertainment stages along Jalan Jenderal Sudirman to Jalan MH Thamrin and the Banteng Square area.
"The location of the stage is at MH Thamrin, Sarinah, HI roundabout, Dukuh Atas BNI 46, Semanggi, BEI/SCBD, FX Sudirman, and Lapangan Banteng," said Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Service Syafrin Liputo.
Syafrin said, a number of roads that intersect with the New Year's Eve celebration point held by the DKI Provincial Government will also be closed. Syafrin appealed to road users to find alternative routes to pass.
There are 48 Transjakarta bus routes that intersect with the location of the activities, changes in operating patterns and track modifications will be carried out during traffic arrangements and diversion in order to celebrate the New Year's Eve 2026.
He explained, other public transportation modes managed by the DKI Provincial Government such as the Jakarta MRT and the Jakarta LRT will operate with an extension of time during the 2026 New Year's Eve celebrations.
"The operating pattern of the Jakarta MRT on the New Year's Eve celebration of 2026 on December 31, 2025, starts at 05.00 WIB until January 1, 2026 at 02.00 WIB with a flat headway of 10 minutes, except from 00.00-01.00 headway of 5 minutes," explained Syafrin.
"The operating pattern of the Jakarta LRT on the New Year's Eve celebration of 2026 on December 31, 2025, starts at 05.30 WIB until January 1, 2026 at 02.00 WIB with a flat headway of 10 minutes," he said.
Syafrin appealed to the public who will attend the New Year's Eve 2026 celebrations on Jalan M.H Thamrin-Jalan Jenderal Sudirman-Lapangan Banteng-Jalan Panglima Polim and at tourist destinations, to use public transportation to minimize traffic density around the activity area.
