Bicycle Location Services for Bike-share Operators

Mr Melvin Yong Yik Chye asked the Minister for Transport (a) whether LTA is able to obtain data from bike-share operators to draw a heatmap of indiscriminately parked bicycles and leverage on that data to prioritise where to locate more bicycle parking zones; and (b) whether the level of enforcement against indiscriminately parked bike-share bicycles differs between private and HDB estates.

LTA uses heat maps from bicycle-sharing operators, as well as data collected by its own enforcement officers and from public feedback, to identify areas where we need to build more bicycle parking zones and increase enforcement.

The same enforcement approach is taken against indiscriminately parked bicycles in all public spaces, including in HDB estates and on public streets outside private property. We do not have jurisdiction over private land. Private landowners have the right to remove objects left on their property without permission.
