Car-free zone on Sundays
Bandarku Ceria began in October 2016 to promote
physical activities among the public. Every
Sunday from 6am to 10am, the roads around
Taman Haji Sir Muda Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien are
closed and turned into a car-free zone.
Through Bandarku Ceria, the public is
encouraged to use spaces available in the capital
for recreation, cultural, family and community
activities. The initiative transforms Bandar Seri
Begawan into a vibrant urban park enjoyed by all
through activities such as jogging, cycling and
aerobics.
Bandarku Ceria has seen an increasing number of
public participation including people cycling on
the streets safely without cars, joining morning
exercise as well as hunting for bargains at the
stalls set up around the city.
