SINGAPORE – Delivery service GrabFood is looking into an incident in which a rider was seen using his personal mobility device (PMD) on an expressway.

In a video posted on Facebook, a man wearing a GrabFood T-shirt is seen riding an e-scooter on the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE).

Facebook user Kurt Guo, who posted the clip, said that he saw the rider on the PIE, at the Upper Serangoon Road exit, at about 7.50pm on Saturday (Oct 19).

In the seven-second video, the PMD rider is seen on a chevron road marking on the expressway checking for traffic, before riding across the road towards the Kallang Park Connector.

GrabFood said in a comment on the video that it is looking into the incident and checking if the rider works with the company.

The Straits Times understands that the driver has not been identified yet.

Under the Road Traffic Act, it has been illegal for PMDs – such as e-scooters and hoverboards – to be used on roads since Jan 15, 2018.
