Do you agree with the ban on e-scooters on public transport?

E-bikes and mobility scooters are excluded from the upcoming ban.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT users will no longer be allowed to bring e-scooters on board with them from Monday next week.

The new ban from the National Transport Authority is based on safety concerns related to lithium-ion batteries, which are commonplace in e-scooters, overheating and causing fires.

Similar restrictions are already in place in Berlin, Barcelona, and the UK, however some commuters are frustrated with the ban.

So today we want to know: Do you agree with the ban on e-scooters on public transport?
