Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for Transport
a. whether the Government keeps track of the number of delivery riders for food or other delivery companies who are currently using PMDs to carry out their delivery work and, if so, what is the current number of such riders; and
b. if it does not, whether the Government intends to start keeping track of the number of such riders.
Reply by Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan:
1. As food delivery riders can work for more than one company, we do not track their number. We understand from the major food delivery companies that their deliveries are largely done by motorcycles and delivery vehicles. Less than 30% of Deliveroo and FoodPanda's riders use e-scooters.
