Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, and home to over 8,7 Million people which also got the 3^rd place (after New Delhi, India) of the the world’s 15 most polluted cities, has held Car Free Day on the last Sunday every month in order to improve air quality. On that day, over 12 kilometers along Sudirman-Thamrin (Central Business District) area was closed for motorized transport from 6 am to 12 pm, except TransJakarta, the bus rapid transit system.

Jakarta people welcomed that day enthusiastically by utilizing the day with many interesting activities such as riding bicycles, having field soccer competition, or just walking around and having chit-chat with friends and relatives. Car Free Days were hosted by The Jakarta Environment Management Agency (BPLHD).  They coordinated any communities who would like to participate on Car Free Day to do public campaign by providing space for them. For example: Transjakarta has launched their website and sms center on Car Free Day on 28 March 2010.ITDP has also supported one of JakTV (Jakarta TV station) to hold a survey to cyclists who attended Car Free Days in order to know how many cyclists are now in Jakarta.  Car Free Days from January to March 2010, there were 16.000 cyclists were fulfilled the questionnaire. JakTV will keep the survey for the following Car Free Days.

                                                   

Car Free Day did not only bring good social impact but also the environmental one. The Jakarta Environment Management Agency (BPLHD) on March 2010 stated that dust particle, carbon, and NO levels decreased by 40 percent, 63 percent, and 71 percent respectively. Based on all those good impacts, Fauzi Bowo, the Governor of DKI Jakarta on 20 Mei 2010 instructed The Jakarta Environment Management Agency (BPLHD) to hold Car Free Day twice a month on the road Sudirman-Thamrin protocol. Head of city environmental agency (BPLHD), Peni Susanti welcomed the Governor’s request and stated that she and her team are still preparing the arrangement and it is expected can be applied starting June 2010.

Walaupun program sterilisasi jalur bus Transjakarta dari semua kendaraan lainnya telah dijalankan hampir satu bulan  oleh Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya dan pihak Trans-Jakarta Busway, pada kenyataannya masih ada pelanggaran. Hal ini disebabkan dengan akan sikap acuh sebagian masyarakat dalam mendukung program sterilisasi busway, dan justru melanggarnya.Pelanggaran dilakukan dari Misalkan saja pelanggaran yang dilakukanoleh pejabat tinggi negara seperti yang dilakukan Mensos Salim Asegaf Al Jufri. Kemudian peristiwa pengeroyokan dan pemukulan  tiga anggota kepolisian, Selasa,18 Mei 2010 pada saat mereka menjalankan tugasnya untuk menindak metromini yang masuk ke jalur bus Transjakarta.  Hal ini merupakan cerminan ketidakpedulian masyarakat akan arti pentingnya penegakan hukum. Sampai saat ini pihak kepolisian masih melakukan proses atas tindakan pengroyokan yang terjadi.

Sterilisasi jalur bus Transjakarta akan sulit terwujud jika penegakan hukum tidak didukung oleh perilaku masyarakat untuk mematuhi peraturan yang ada. Larangan kendaraan lain masuk ke dalam jalur bus Transjakarta tertera jelas dalam Perda DKI Jakarta No.8/2007 tentang Ketertiban Umum  bab II pasal 2, ayat 7 yang berbunyi Kendaraan bermotor dua atau lebih dilarang memasuki jalur busway.
