Bah! Thank you. We use Buffly for tracking, didn’t realize that was banned too. All updated.

The illustration above shows the person wearing a helmet. I NEVER see people on scooters wearing a helmet. Instead, I see two on one or them doing wheelies on one, all kinds of extra things that make it more likely someone will get hurt.
Another issue is people randomly leaving them in the middle of the sidewalk.
There is no accountability for that at all and that needs to be addressed.

I'm aware of this but no one cares about that. Since then I have seen scooters completely blocking the sidewalk. Want an example? Boston St by the Starbucks.
I've used scooters before and the one I was on had me take a picture in the app of where I left it and it wouldn't end the trip until I left it in a suitable spot which I did.
That's what I'm saying.
Again, I'm not anti-scooter but I am anti stupidity.

Did you read what we wrote?
It’s a pilot project.
Once the pilot project is done, we’ll be analyzing the results and instituting it more throughout the city.

Oh I'm aware of it. I'm not speaking on the future I am speaking on what's going on right now.
The scooters have been around for several years now so there has already been plenty of time to analyze results and take action on it.

The apps here require the photos too.

That's good to know thanks. It doesn't change the fact that people need to be responsible with those scooters.
