Dockless e-bike operators that allow their bikes to be parked outside of designated places
00:05
may have action taken against them, Transport for London has announced.
00:09
Yeah, I mean you see e-bikes all over the place, I think they're incredibly useful,
00:13
I think they will grow in popularity and they're a great way to get around a busy city, so
00:18
I'm not against them at all, but I definitely think something needs to be done about where
00:23
they're stationed because for, you know, people are not able-bodied, it's not great, right,
00:28
if you have to kind of get past a massive mountain of e-bikes just to cross a road,
00:33
so I think probably, you know, it's something that needs to be improved on and resolved,
00:39
but I don't think e-bikes are going anywhere.
00:42
I think they're a good thing, I mean my step-sons use them, I get the point, but I think it
00:47
can be a bit exaggerated to be honest, you know, people go, you know, they're a little
00:51
bit annoying, but it's not the end of the world.
00:54
I've never used them, I have been curious, yes, I wish they would because some people
01:00
just throw them everywhere, blocking the pavements, so yeah, if there's a stricter law or rule
01:08
that they have to put it back in where they got it from or in a bike, I don't know, area,
01:16
yeah, that would be great and maybe penalise them.
01:21
What would you think would be a good way to penalise, like maybe a fine or?
01:24
Yeah, a fine, not like a parking fine, but say an extra £5-£10 on what they're paying
01:33
and that would make them, you know, be more courteous to those who are walking and those
01:37
who are driving because some of them leave it in the road as well.
01:40
The transport organisation's new policy aims to tackle poorly parked e-bikes causing access
01:46
or safety issues. TfL said a proportionate and pragmatic approach would be taken to any
01:52
enforcement activity. It said it had written to operators to ask them to collaborate on
01:57
its new enforcement policy.
