The bigger problem with scooters is that they keep raising their prices. It was $.15/min a year ago and checking Lime and Uber it’s now $.32-.33/min or more than $20/hr!
I hardly see anyone using them in SF anymore. It’s cheaper to use just a regular Uber.
I’m convinced the only people using it now can’t do basic math.
- on_and_off 7y agoIMO SF streets are not that great for LMV. I use an eskate so it does not apply 100% to scooter with wheels that are twice as large, but most of my learning curve has been around learning to deal with bad road conditions. The roads I usually take are riddled with potholes or crossing rail tracks with huge gaps. Cars (or rather their drivers) are also very dangerous. I still skate to work almost every time when the weather permits but I can understand people choosing to use a car instead. I have good hopes for the future. Once Market Street becomes more welcoming to bikes, that will open up more possibilities, adding a couple more bike oriented streets could make the whole city way more bike/skate -able.
