People in Dubai are set to start seeing e-scooters around the Dubai Metro again despite having been previously banned back in March. On October, 4th, 2024, Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) released the information offering new easement; It is allowed to take some kinds of e-scooters inside the metro and tram carriages.
The restrictions have been put into that only e-scooters that are foldable, have no seat, and the dimensions of 120 cm * 70 cm * 40 cm with a weight not exceeding 20 kg may be taken aboard trains. These scooters may not be operated inside stations or block doors and aisles. The following are also some restrictions: It is prohibited to charge e-scooters at metro stations and to bring in wet or dirty scooters.
