They are both a problem. Cars took up most walkable areas and now venture capitalists are exploiting what little is left by littering it with their electric scooters and bikes. Rentals are an important part of a mobility strategy, but they should be run by the government and get their own parking infrastructure.
Absolutely. They should be municipality owned or operated, and promoted alongside other transit options. It builds a stronger city having several transit options and while also reduces the necessity of car reliance for every trip.
That’s a great point. I had a similar realization when riding one for the first time. It was something along the lines of capitalism “fixing” problems that it itself causes. Can’t afford a car? Rent a scooter
but they should be run by the government and get their own parking infrastructure.
Well, yeah, but some soulless husks want to profit. Personally I think we should hold some “disruption” conferences on a remote island, and then “forget” to pick them all up afterwards.
My inner city is partially pedestrian only and partially streets for bicycles, buses, taxis and people who live there. No through-traffic. Those damn scooters used to be littered everywhere. So the city turned some car parking spots into designated scooter parking spots and they haven’t been an issue since. It’s not that hard.
