GoWork Pacific Place Common AreaGoWork, Pacific Place

Jakartans are no strangers to the odd-even policy which has been implemented since May 2016 to replace the 3-in-1 policy. In preparation for hosting the 18th Asian Games, the Indonesian government has intensified the policy as a necessary means to anticipate and accommodate the increased traffic flow in Jakarta. By now most of you should already be aware of the alteration made to the rule but for those who aren't, the vehicle restriction odd-even policy area has expanded to include places such as Arteri Pondok indah, Jl. Rasuna Said, and more. To top it all off, it will be in place for 15 hours a day (including weekends), starting from 06:00 - 21:00 with the intention to ease mobility for travelling athletes and officials. Refer to the map below for more information.

The adjustments to the traffic scheme system have caused a considerable amount of inconvenience when it comes to commuting around these areas, which isn't necessarily a bad thing all together. This new implementation caused fewer traffic accidents and encouraged people to use public transportation options - TransJakarta observed an increase of almost 34,000 passengers on Monday, 06 August compared to the previous Monday. However, being shoulder to shoulder in a train with the heat and stifling humidity isn't ideal.

So if you're looking for a suitable space to get some work done, conduct a meeting, or have a social gathering during the period of the Asian Games, we've listed some of the most charming workspaces where the odd-even policy is not an issue (as long as you avoid the odd-even routes on your way there).

Surrounded by the new emerging CBD infrastructure in South Jakarta, this Connext branch is located in the intersection of Jalan Pangeran Antasari and Jakarta Outer Ring Road (JORR). This provides simple and convenient access to both inside and outside of the city with passing through odd-even policy areas.
