Non-electric scooters and foldable bicycles without a battery are permitted and can be placed into the designated luggage space inside the trains of Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram, the Roads and Transport Authority has clarified on Friday.
“To ensure your safety and that of others, the use of e-scooters inside Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram will be prohibited, starting Friday, March 1,” Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) wrote on X.
It also used the hashtag ‘Your safety our priority’.
However, Dubai Metro is still allowing passengers to transport foldable bicycles on trains and trams.
On Thursday, February 29, the RTA have unveiled a robot to detect bicycle and electric scooter violations, set to be trialled in March.
The trial operation’s initial phase will commence in the Jumeirah 3 beach area.
