- AstralStorm 7y agoBy park you actually mean litter everywhere, as there are very few designated parking places, much fewer than for bicycles.
- Notorious_BLT 7y agoThat's a city planning problem, though. Designated small-vehicle parking that isn't explicitly for bikes seems like a good idea to have. No reason bike storage should be bike-exclusive
- beatgammit 7y agoThe scooter companies are free to fund installation. Honestly, I think scooter companies should be fined for any scooters left in a place that causes problems. It's essentially litter, so it should be treated as such. Scooter companies should be providing some means of locking them up securely and expect their users to use them.
- TulliusCicero 7y agoI doubt there were many parking lots when cars were new, too.
- ses1984 7y agoWhat makes a rentable scooter easier to park than a rentable bike?
- TulliusCicero 7y agoScooters are smaller.
- stallmanite 7y agoBecause you just leave them wherever. Edit: Not voicing approval for this practice but that’s how it seems to work in my city at least.
- ses1984 7y agoBut why couldn't you do the same with a rental bike? Also not approving, just asking.
