What if you don’t already have their app. Then there is friction. I am about 20 feet away from a Bird scooter but under the present circumstances I’m not interested in creating an account, etc.
- drewmate 8y agoI'm guessing you're not really in the target market of scooter users then. Getting the app and creating the account (for any of these companies) is very straightforward. You should give it a try, if for no reason then to satisfy your curiosity for a couple bucks.
- z6 8y agoWell, if (when?) uber/lyft enter the market, you probably already have their apps, so this is a non-issue. For others, I think if you have competent product people, you'd limit registration to a phone number and offer apple/android pay. With iOS 12, for example, it would be so seamless since it can auto-fill confirmation codes. So all you'd have to do is put in your phone number and you're logged into a new account.
