The byelaws help SPT to make sure that travelling on the Subway is easy, safe, secure and comfortable.

SPT has introduced a temporary ban on all lithium-ion powered micro devices until further data is collated on the safe operation and travel of devices or once formal legislation comes into effect. 

The ban includes all lithium-ion powered micro devices such as:

• e-scooters
• e-unicycles
• e-hoverboards
• e-skateboards

Banning lithium-ion powered micro devices in subway environments is a crucial step towards ensuring the safety and security of commuters, reducing the likelihood of potential accidents, and preventing disruptions to Subway operations.
