E-scooter owners caught breaking the ban on taking them on to London’s transport network have paid out more than £12,000 in fines and legal costs this year, after a fire safety crackdown.
Transport for London banned private e-scooters from Tubes, trains, and buses in 2021 after one caught fire and caused panic on a packed District line train at Parsons Green. The ban — backed by London Fire Brigade — extends across the Tube network, as well as all buses, Overground and tram services, and the Docklands Light Railway.
