For those wondering why the permits:
> “This is a basic permitting scheme to allow the professional staff at SFMTA to permit these with sensible, regulatory frameworks and to be able to confiscate unpermitted vehicles or devices,” Sheehy said.
- CyberDildonics 9y agoThat doesn't really explain the permits except to say they want to be able to take scooters away from people.
- djrogers 9y agoThat doesn't answer the 'why'. I have read the article, and still have no idea what specifically the city wans to regulate. What types of rules and requirements are the councilmembers and SFMTA expecting to put in place? Are there specific restrictions that are in the interest of the city's residents, or is this just a money-grab?
- DogOnTheWeb 9y agoPresumably permitting will allow the city to control the amount of scooters on the streets to control public space congestion and ensure that those who operate in the city are following rules regarding placement, education and safety.
- CyberDildonics 9y agoIs there an actual problem being solved or is it just a solution in search of a problem?
