An elderly man was seen riding a personal mobility aid (PMA) in a bus lane in Bugis on September 29, prompting concerns over road safety. The incident involved Stomper Ho, who reported the unusual sight. Vehicles had to change lanes to avoid the PMA user.
The PMA, typically used by elderly or disabled individuals, was observed moving through a designated bus lane. This led to a temporary disruption in traffic flow. Local authorities have not yet commented on the incident.
This is not the first time such an occurrence has been reported. Similar incidents have been noted in other parts of the city, though none have drawn as much attention as this one. The use of PMAs in non-designated areas remains a growing issue, with some experts calling for clearer regulations. The incident highlights the need for better enforcement of traffic rules and increased awareness among users of mobility aids.
