BANNED - E-scooters to be banned from Singapore's footpaths starting Nov 5

[Fcw75]

If I can, I spend my time to design a rack that can be mounted on the rear of a bicycle so that the food delivery bag can fit nicely into the rack. So riders when using a bicycle don’t have to carry the bag on their back. 

$$$ 😍

I am confuse, are there really a banned.

I am seeing Grab, Foodpanda E scooters speeding around.

No matter what the law is, there will always be people breaking it. These are xxxholes that give PMD riders a bad name.

Disregarding the law is very much since day 1.

good, i agree with you....which means finding job on  your hp is free and easy and can be done anytime.... my point is why there are people out there crying can't find a job to feed family. 

Are there jobs out there? Of course. Better or worse jobs?

Your logic also applies to those above 40 who complain of agiesm. Cannot find a job meh? Toilet cleaner lor.

Someone please send him this link on mobility scooters

https://www.mobilityscooters.sg/

These are LTA compliant and should still be allowed to run on the pathways? Can apply for grant too iirc.

There are already carriers for bicycles for ages already....  For your idea,  just have to make the carriers bigger. 

But that will not solve the reckless riding issues. 

I would however like to have the carrier bags to be marked with the employee code on it big and clear. 

So that ppl can identify the joker if the fellow decides to ride recklessly.

IMHO.

I see it as PMD users fail to self-regulate.
There were "chances" given but self-regulation still did not happen.
Thus,  someone else needs to step in to regulate them.

Maybe they were unemployed or working as cleaner... this service lifted them up then the ban plop them down again...wouldnt u be frustrated? put urself in their shoes... how would u like it if the tools u use for ur work was suddenly banned from 90% of the areas u use it in with 1 days notice. In a country with no welfare system and u are on a service contract how to feed family

oh....'pay is low and long hours'.

everyone wants to have a short cut to good job good pay...so F&B job is not worthy for us. But someone has to do prepare our food, wash our dishes and cook our meal?  if you don't start from the bottom of job chain, how do you become a manager one day and with good pay? please don't assume that those with good pay and good job are people who started with high pay the moment they step out of school.  A lot of F&B bosses starts at the bottom. Sheng Siong boss was a pig farmer. 

The way to good life has no short cut. 

While i agree with the idea of your statement, i don't think it is fair to put it across to all people. Not all people wants to climb the corporate ladder or be an entrepreneur to earn their first pot of gold. Many just want to make ends meet, to provide for their family. So they will find something that can earn the most money possible. Food delivery is quite good actually. Flexi working hours, self employed, no politics and can send a decent amount of money with effort put in. This is good enough for their family or to put their kids through school. 

Generally, i find most PMDs for food delivery behaves better than those kids zooming around for fun, blasting music and blinding people with their super bright lights.

if they ban SBS bus then i LL have to drive to work...

i am neutral to the ban at this moment though it is high handed

humans are by nature selfish.... protection of oneself come first... i am not going to pretend i care about their jobs or leisure since the ban does not affect me.

the PCN outside by backyard is used frequently by these delivery people.... mostly good some bad, other PMD users, old folks, children etc

happen more than once i had to get my child or dog out of the way just for them.... did not see any intention of slowing down....

I can only say i will have no hesitation to push one to the ground to protect my loved ones... as i don't think the ban will have much impact if one chooses to break the law

 

and not bad if they were unemployed or work as cleaner and can afford PMD, i see some even have better and newer handphone than me

dear gahmen, y u ban exos pipe/lup engine. I also never langgar ppl. 


archarlee, if they really want to do it. Just make everyone want to ride Escooter, have to go through licen. Same like for moto, min. age. Then only ppl with licen can ride. All Escooter must have insuran and big big licen plate like moto. No licen go jail.

Last year and back used to avoid the MacDonalds red/grey T shirted guys on delivery Motorbikes whom had no regard for traffic on roads and seen  lesser of late .... I guess they must have moved on to PMD’s and now I guess now those motorbikes will be back on the streets , same daredevils just switched mode of transport
