free' days to give residents respite from traffic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The traffic circle next to Hotel Indonesia is one of Jakarta's landmarks. During turbulent times,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's a prime spot for political demonstrations: Think Tahrir Square in Cairo or Tiananmen Square in Beijing. These days,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's generally bumper-to-bumper with commuter traffic as political strife recedes and Indonesia's economy revs up again.
Some Sunday mornings are different. On a recent trip,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I pulled back the curtain from my hotel room and gazed down at a sea of cyclists,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], joggers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and walkers weaving around the circle. The crowd was a cross section of multiethnic Jakarta: sporty male cyclists,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], flirting teenagers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Muslim women in head scarves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and families out for a stroll. Among the crowd were vendors selling steamed buns,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sodas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and sunglasses from brightly painted carts.
Jakarta's car-free zone began in 2007 and has become a huge success. Once a month,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a section of downtown is closed to vehicles on Sunday morning. Tens of thousands of people get on their bikes or pull on sneakers and take to the streets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], injecting a note of civic pride into a city that often feels unloved by its residents.
Even on those Sundays when cars aren't barred,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jakarta residents still take to the streets. On my visit - not an official car-free day - the foot traffic vastly outnumbered the cars and motorbikes on the road. Nobody seemed to be in a hurry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which makes a change from the midweek hustle and bustle.
