JAKARTA BANS E-SCOOTERS FROM SIDEWALKS, FOOTBRIDGES, ROADS

FOLLOWING FATAL ACCIDENT
Jakarta: The popular GrabWheels electric scooters rented out by ride-hailing company
Grab Indonesia are no longer to be allowed to freely roam the streets of Jakarta as the city
administration is set to restrict the two-wheelers following the deaths of two users in a traffic
accident earlier this week.
The Jakarta Transportation Agency is currently drafting a regulation to ensure the safety of
the users, agency head Syafrin Liputo said. The service came under fire after two users were hit
by a car and died outside of the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) sports complex in Central Jakarta
early Monday morning.
The accident prompted the agency to meet with representatives of Grab Indonesia to discuss e-
scooter operations.
“We have talked with the operator of the e-scooters and we agreed in order to guarantee the
safety and comfort of pedestrians, we will allow more room for them by prohibiting e-scooters
from running on sidewalks and pedestrian bridges,” he told reporters on Thursday.
The service, promoted as a green and modern mobility alternative, is only allowed to operate
in specific areas, such as GBK. The restrictions apply not only to GrabWheels but also to
privately owned e-scooters.
When they go outside the compound, users must use bike lanes instead of sidewalks and
must not mix on the streets with other vehicles for the sake of everyone’s safety. People would
be discouraged from using e-scooters during Car Free Day events, Syafrin said, adding that his
agency would restrict the rental hours from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The city administration plans to fine users if they violate the 2009 Traffic Law, one article of
which upholds the rights of pedestrians. The same law also prohibits motorcyclists from driving
on sidewalks.
If found guilty, violators could be sentenced to two months in jail and a Rp 500,000 (US$35.46)
fine.
