Scooters should have docks or designated parking areas.
The concept is cool but, like dockless bikeshare, the execution has been a mess resulting in littering all over public sidewalks and also apparently over private property.
I’m not sure I trust repo guys and tow companies not to fraudulently tow the scooters though.
- rahimnathwani 7y ago"Scooters should have docks or designated parking areas." Why only designated parking areas? Why not allow scooters (and bicycles) to park anywhere that cars can?
- Nasrudith 7y agoWell that would still technically be a designated parking area - if an overlapping one. Cars have them as well. The main reason why not is if there are other non-disruptive locations for it they should be parked there first. Better to have bikes on bike racks before they start taking street spaces for instance.
- hisnameisjimmy 7y agoWhy non-disruptive? Cars take up massive amounts of space. They can stand to be inconvenienced a tiny amount.
- rednixion 7y agoBecause more often than not only a small amount of organization is actually needed to stop scooters and bikes from being in way of people using the sidewalk?
- hisnameisjimmy 7y agoIf that was actually the case, we should see huge amounts of space devoted to bicycles at this point. We do not. If you’ve ever ridden in the city and had the only three bike rings for a full block taken up, you share the frustration.
