JAKARTA - The Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) will ban the use of electric scooters (eScooter) after 11pm. This is the aftermath of a collision between a car driver and an electric scooter user who died on Sunday, November 10 yesterday.

Head of DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, explained that the reason for limiting the hours of using electric scooters at 11 pm was due to adjusting the operation of mass transportation such as Transjakarta and Integrated Moda Raya (MRT).

This limitation of operating hours is carried out while waiting for regulations that are being reviewed by the DKI Provincial Government. The target is that the regulations regarding the use of electric scooters will take effect from December this year.
