You asked, RTA listened. Riders can now bring e-scooters on the Dubai Metro and Tram

Riders on the Dubai Metro and Tram can now carry certain foldable e-scooters.

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority announced the change in an official post on X.

• Wet or dirty e-scooters are not allowed in Metro or Tram premises.
• Riding e-scooters is prohibited in stations and footbridges.
• E-scooters must be folded when entering stations, platforms, or onboard trains or trams.
• Turn off e-scooter power at all times while on Metro or Tram premises.
• Protruding parts that could cause injury or damage, such as handlebars and bicycle pedals, must be covered or retracted.
• Commuters are responsible for the safe transport of their e-scooters.
• E-scooters must be folded and use wide gates when checking in or out at Metro stations.
• Always be aware of your e-scooter and adhere to the rules.

The RTA previously banned commuters from carrying e-scooters on the Metro and Tram in March, citing safety reasons.
