I'm getting worried about the obesity problem in today's electric bikes. It's going to end with bans on taking them on trains.

our trains aren't that complex
I really wish the trains in my city had bike hooks, you’re forced to stand with your bike at the end of a light rail car and move yourself and your bike at every stop to let people on/off
Our trains directly do not allow any fucking bike, scooter, or shit. So enjoy while you can.
Many countries now fear batteries igniting inside trains, even though the same bike/scooter person will now have to take their car to work and have the much higher potential to actually kill people and themselves.
Germany? Or Italy?
It looks very similar to the alstrom trains Trenitalia has here in italy. But the pictograms seem off from the ones in those trains.
Edit: apparently it's Mumbai but they are very similar to alstrom trains. At least in my eyes
This is Line 2A on the Mumbai Metro. The train sets were built locally by BEML, but Alstom supplies the signaling infrastructure.
I should also mention that only two of the four operational metro lines in Mumbai currently have bike infrastructure. It's pretty annoying
