Toronto Transit Commission proposes winter e-bike/scooter ban due to fire safety concerns.

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has proposed a winter ban on e-bikes and e-scooters in transit areas from November 15 to April 15 due to fire safety concerns related to lithium-ion batteries. This recommendation follows a fire incident involving an e-bike on a train. The proposal, which aims to address safety regulations, is set for discussion at the TTC board meeting on October 29 and will not impact individuals using assistive devices.
