Reply to comment by WalterS0bchack in PSA: veo scooters go 15 mph by twenty-six-sixty-six

Bad take. Scooters are a great method of alternative transportation. Your issue is with the shitty users who throw them places they shouldn’t be after getting to their destination.

Fortunately it seems at least some of the scooter companies are stepping up enforcement of parking in acceptable spots, making you take a picture when you’re finished the ride of it locked up and out of the way of the sidewalk.

Not good enough. DC already has that law and scooters still litter the sidewalks Scooter companies need to follow the same rules as CityBike. Have city-approved docking/charging stations that scooters must be docked in and impound any left in the street. And charge the scooter users a fine tonpay for the impound workers.

Funny how you almost never see a CityBike abandoned but Lime and Uber bikes are just discarded on the sidewalk like trash.
