City planners and politicians in the USA would be wise to consider the root cause of the scooter surge rather than worrying too much about the side effects. People want to get around without buying an expensive heavy machine. Scooters solve the "last mile" problem of public transportation in sprawled areas. It's clear that automobile-centric urban planning cannot work for large cities. Yet, there are always screaming loud voices protesting anything that affects their ability to drive in perfect comfort and speed. I wish we had politicians with the courage to ignore those people and make the infrastructural changes we need to keep our cities functional and pleasant as our population continues to urbanize.
