Which only a certain foldable bicycle is allowed on trains, however, the man forced his way into the northbound train and he was then transferred to a westbound train at Jurong East MRT station and exited at Pioneer station around 7.50 pm.
As for the safety and comfort of all other commuters, it is to remind everyone should observe regulation when bringing foldable bicycles and personal mobility devices on board trains and buses. In the video which has been circulating online, the man could be seen also uttering a string of words to the train commuters in a mixture of Malay and English, the man who is dressed in a grey T-Shirt and a headcover which he was standing near an exit door while his non-foldable bicycle was seen hanging from the railings of the train cabin.
Hopefully, the enforcer can do something with such rules and ensuring everyone is being safe while traveling on a train. Let just hope that the man won’t do it again and will learn to understand that traveling with his non-foldable bicycle on a train might cause injuries to himself and other commuters. Further more, he just hangs his bicycle like that!
