SINGAPORE - The familiar sight of a food delivery rider zipping past pedestrians on an electric scooter may soon be a thing of the past, with the largest food delivery firm deciding whether it should join its rivals in abandoning their use altogether.
GrabFood said it was reviewing if e-scooters were even a viable mode of delivery after hearing from its riders that it had become increasingly challenging to make deliveries without using footpaths, from which these devices were banned in November.
