Dago, Car Free Day – Bandung

Jl. Ir. H. Juanda, Bandung

Every Sunday 06.00 am – 10.00 am a stretch of some 1.5 kilometers of Jalan Ir. H. Juanda (aka Dago), Bandung from Surapati Bridge (Jl. Cikapayang) to Simpang Dago (Jl. Dipati Ukur) is closed for motor vehicles. This 4-hour period is known as Bandung Car Free Day – and is said to be a part of the city’s participation to environmental friendliness.  During that period, individuals and families flock the area to  jog, bike, roller-skate, participate in mass-exercise/aerobics or simply take a stroll. There are also music or traditional dance performances for free; and/or in some cases accept voluntary contribution. For people who come to enjoy some breakfast, there are a plethora of vernacular foods available. The place is also an interaction place for various communities: photographies, bikers, dog-lovers, etc. And not to mention as a place for some corporations and businesses to market their ventures.

 I’d like to share a few pictures here. I hope you enjoy them.
