For the price, it makes much more sense to buy a scooter if someone is going to use a scooter as their daily commuter transportation. I checked the price of Bird (idk what the prices of Lime/Spin are), and it's $1 per ride plus $.15/min. For 2x20min commutes per day, that's $8/day to ride a scooter. A roundtrip on the subway would be 2x$2.75, so $5.50/day. Taken monthly, it's $160/mo to ride a scooter vs. $110/mo to ride the subway. A Xiaomi scooter is about $500 on Amazon, so the cost would be recouped in less than 5 months. Seems reasonable for those who would be "frequent riders" to just buy their own collapsible scooters and carry it with them into work.
