Personal Mobility Device (PMD) sharing could soon become a publicly available transport option.
Starting January next year, operators offering PMD-sharing services will be allowed to apply for sandbox or limited licences to operate small fleets in Singapore.
In parliament yesterday, Senior Minister of State for Transport Dr Lam Pin Min said that while PMDs provide a convenient transport option and sharing services will allow Singaporeans more access to the devices, it is important that operators provide such options without causing the public inconvenience.
Dr Lam added: "Drawing on the lessons from regulating the bicycle sharing industry, LTA is taking a cautious approach to regulating the PMD sharing industry."
