Ms Lee Hui Ying asked the Minister for Transport regarding efforts to deter indiscriminate parking of shared bicycles in public spaces
a. how many complaints relating to shared bicycles parked outside designated zones were received in (i) 2025 and (ii) 2026 to date, respectively; and
b. how many users were (i) charged the $5 penalty fee and (ii) banned as repeat offenders, respectively.
Reply by Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:
1. From January 2025 to July 2026, around 95% of shared bicycle trips ended at designated bicycle parking areas. This has remained stable despite growth in shared bicycle usage. About 12,000 pieces of feedback on shared bicycles parked outside designated areas were received in 2025 and 15,000 from January to July 2026, comprising about 0.1% of overall shared bicycle usage for the given period.
2. In 2025, operators imposed about 90,000 instances of the $5 penalty fee and banned about 4,800 repeat offenders. From January to July 2026, operators imposed about 148,000 instances of the $5 penalty fee and banned around 4,800 repeat offenders. The increase in incidences of penalties and bans reflect both shared bicycle usage growth and strengthened enforcement.
