Are these things really much of an inconvenience to you? The vast majority of the ones I've seen are parked in reasonable locations.
This could be further improved by better education of users, requiring the user take a photo of their parking job, easily allowing other people to submit complaints, and warning then banning repeat offenders.
- jpao79 8y agoIt doesn't bother me specifically, but I've only seen it in the context of a wide boulevard (i.e. along the Embaracadero in SF). Its more to address the potential complaints and potential issues in say the Mission. There's also the tangential benefit of there being an increasing likelihood, I'll have access to a scooter if they are all clustered in the same spot. It's a much easier fleet management on the backend as well, maybe some machine learning prediction of where more scooters are needed throughout the day could be applied.

- ryanwaggoner 8y agoAnd this is different from brightly colored car-shaped ads how?
- rectang 8y agoThey're novel. They are in unexpected places such as sidewalks, rather thank locked up like basically any privately owned bicycle. Depending on the neighborhood, there may be no car-shaped ads at all.
