TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta Transportation Office will temporarily halt its odd-even traffic policy on New Year's Day or the 1st of January 2024, considering it will be a national holiday.
"Concerning the New Year 2024 that falls on Monday, Jan. 1, 2024, the odd-even traffic policy in Jakarta will be halted," the office's official Instagram @dishubdkijakarta wrote on Wednesday.
