I loved using Lime, but I can see cities banning it like SF. You aren't supposed to ride the scooter on side walks and many people do it. People just leave it in random places and I know some cities don't like this.

SF allows scooters, but not Bird or Lime because of their conduct.

  Ahh, yes. It was the companies who rode them on the sidewalks.

    I believe it was more about dumping scooters all over the city before getting permits.

Someone somehow managed to abandon one on the roof (7th floor) of my work building. Getting the damn thing down to the ground floor and out of the building was not a lot of fun. Moving it locked up the wheels and triggered the alarm. It even announced through a speaker that it was "calling the police." With some help I was able to get it down, moved into a service elevator, and escorted out of the building. The stupid thing would not shut up. Someone must have come by and collected it because it was gone by the end of the day. Pain in the ass, and the company, in typical Silicon Valley fashion, didn't have any information on their website about how to contact a real person or to report an abandoned scooter. If this is going to be a regular thing, where I have to be an impromptu scooter wrangler, I want my cut :)

  Bird is different. They have real people answering the phone or email all the time. Disclaimer: I work for Bird.

So instead we get millions of cars. Nice alternative...
