Jakarta Governor Holds Off on Ending Odd-Even Traffic Rule Until MRT Reaches Kota Tua
Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung is not ready to end the odd-even traffic rule in the Gajah Mada area.
The rule will be reviewed after the North-South MRT line reaches Kota Tua.
The line is being built from Pondok Labu toward Kota Tua, and the city hopes it will reach Harmoni and Monas in 2027.
Pramono says ending the traffic rule before the MRT work is finished could disrupt traffic and transport.
The project is part of Jakarta’s efforts to expand public transport.
Pramono has not set a date for a decision, and the city will consider transport conditions before deciding whether to keep or end the rule.
