The man subsequently transferred to a west-bound train at Jurong East station and exited Pioneer station at about 7.50pm.
"We have since identified the commuter and made a police report," said SMRT.
"For the safety and comfort of all commuters, we would like to remind everyone to observe regulations when bringing foldable bicycles and personal mobility devices on board trains and buses," SMRT added.
