Funny that you mention noise pollution. My most prominent “experience” with these scooters has been the one parked outside my apartment building the other day beeping incessantly and flashing a strobe light. The beeping was incredibly loud. I started hearing it when my elevator got to the first floor: from across the street and through my building’s front door, lobby, and elevator door. It was beeping like that from at least 6pm when I got home and 10pm when I last checked.
- StudentStuff 9y agoIs there any reason you didn't call the local police non-emergency line and report the abandoned vehicle that was likely violating local noise ordinances? Doesn't matter if its a shared car, scooter, etc, if its creating loud noises late into the night and its owners are unresponsive, report it. I've done that a few times for Car2Go and ReachNow's.
- baddox 9y agoI considered doing that, but decided it’s probably not worth bothering them given that the street is also filled with homeless people, piles of trash, and discarded needles. I’ve since learned that you can use the 311 app to report abandoned vehicles, so I’ll do that in the future.
