Car Free Day or well-known as CFD in Jakarta is a day where car and motorcycle are prohibited around some spots. The purpose is to let the public enjoy the freedom of Jakarta's land either to bicycling, rooler-skating, group jogging, skate boarding, aerobic group, etc. In fact, CFD is really unique because you will see a lot of new things around. Some even bring their cute pet!

The CFD location is along the way Senayan to Monas. CFD itself is also used as a place to hold events, like the photo above, we were conducting a campain on World AIDS day. Not only for events such as the campaign alone, but many also are building a mini stage and singing (rent is available too). Also do not worry if you feel thirsty there, you will find it very easy to buy a drink and food because there are many vendors along the road.
Other thing for fun is also you can rent a bicycle. You will not be boring there for 100%. Some of people even not afraid to wear a costume such as Doraemon, Hello Kitty, Naruto, etc cartoon thing. That is why, you are really should try to visit CFD on Sunday! It is easy to reach the location, you can tranport by bus TransJakarta and stop at Monas or Bunderan HI. It is way better if you feel free to ask the security or driver too.
Car Free Day in Jakarta is held every Sunday from 06:00 to
11:00 pm, the location along the way Senayan - HI Roundabout - Monas. For the
two-wheeled vehicle can be parked in IRTI Monas, Plaza Senayan, Ratu Plaza,
