(Bandar Seri Begawan, 5th) After nearly ten years of implementation, the "Car-Free Day Urban Leisure Activity" (Bandarku Ceria Hari Tanpa Kereta Program) remains widely popular, becoming the top choice for citizens' weekend leisure activities.
In early 2026, one can see citizens participating in this activity from early morning on Sundays, adding vibrancy to the capital and making the surrounding environment more lively.
People from all walks of life seize the opportunity to walk, jog, or cycle, enjoying the tranquil city atmosphere away from the noise of vehicles.
In addition, the participation of local vendors has also indirectly boosted the local micro-economy, providing them with income-generating opportunities and enabling them to embrace the New Year with a more positive attitude in an orderly and pleasant environment.
The "Car-Free Day Urban Leisure Activity" was launched on October 2, 2016. Every Sunday from 6 am to 10 am, certain roads in Bandar Seri Begawan are temporarily closed to vehicles.
This program aims to create a vibrant atmosphere in the capital, making it an outstanding city full of vitality and dynamism.
Moreover, the program is a joint initiative of His Majesty the Sultan's Government of Brunei through several ministries, agencies, and related parties, aiming to promote healthy living habits among community residents.
At the same time, the program is also committed to strengthening family institutions and creating development opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises.
This program continues to receive positive responses from the public, reflecting the community's recognition of the government's focus on community welfare and sustainable urban development.
This development also demonstrates the huge potential of such programs, which can be further enhanced as a continuous initiative to build a community that advocates healthy lifestyles and supports sustainable development.
