"It is definitely over-regulation," Venkata Goruganthu, who rode his e-scooter to his office in the business district every day, told AFP. "There are car accidents and people are dying, are we going to ban cars on the streets now?" "They feel they want to move somewhere fast, but they're not considering others who are using the same pathway." It drastically reduces the area where people can ride the contraptions -- Singapore has about 440 kilometres (275 miles) of cycle paths compared with 5,500 kilometres of footpaths. - International clampdown -Singapore is just the latest country trying to get control of the scooters.
