      This is going to mess about a lot of people who commute to work/college.

      I’m lucky enough that I can go right to work on mine using a different route, but previously I had to get a bus and then scoot to work.

      The popularity of these scooters continues to surprise me. I had no idea there was so many people who wanted to cycle everywhere but are just too lazy.

      No e-scooters. No vapes. What’s next? No FaceTime at full volume?

      There could be so many better ways to go about the end goal of satisfying safety concerns around batteries. Require e-scooters with approved battery components to get a tamper proof sticker that you show the bus driver in order to board.

      Edit: [The EU Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road](https://unece.org/sites/default/files/2023-01/ADR2023_Vol1e.pdf) that is being used to justify this move explicitly outlines what does and does not make a Li-ion battery acceptable for carry. The necessary provisions for inspection are clearly laid out. It makes sense to want to limit the dodgier products that likely weren’t legal to be sold in Ireland in the first place. It makes sense to require some sort of licensing and safety equipment like helmets. But it is just lazy to create a blanket ban on these devices.

      My overwhelming experience with these scooters is negative, albeit anecdotal. Crammed trams and people using them as battering rams to get onto the tram. Even folded they still use up a significant amount of space. This seemed like it was an inevitable move for TFI.

      This is a real shame, especially for things like Luas & Dart.

      Escooters have huge potential to solve the ‘last mile problem’ with public transport, so this is such a bad decision.

      So people using mobility scooters will be banned as well I guess?

      They use a battery as well and could be overcharging it or causing all sorts of dangers?

      Have no problem with this crap but can’t figure out how to set up the new dublin commuter zone until next year ….. maybe!!😂😂😂

      It won’t be enforced. Same as bicycles on trains during peak hours

      This will just put more people on public transport during rush hour, people won’t want to run the risk of being stuck with an e-scooter in the pissing rain on the way home, so don’t use it in the morning on the way in when it’s dry.

      I wrote to Eamon Ryan when news of this ban came out. They were “legalised” in the summer, and then in the autumn banned from PT.

      I pointed out that *nobody* wants a fire hazard in their home, and if there’s that much concern they should a) be banned outright or b) a system set-up for their being safety checked and passed for use.

      Heard an ad a while back about this, would make more sense having the posters on the buses though.
