I wonder if the benefit is to shop owners in the area where scooters work. My reasoning: Scooters are a replacement for walking. Shop owners depend on foot traffic. If you can generate foot traffic by reducing the time cost, you can increase shop visits.
I do recognize a number of holes in this logic, for instance: is scooter traffic comparable to foot traffic?
- netsharc 7y agoFor one thing, stopping at a shop when you're on foot is free, but if you want to get back to scooting, you can only park the scooter but not end the rental (otherwise someone else might rent that scooter while you're in the shop), but (AFAIK) Lime, etc, will charge you money as long as the scooter is still being rented out to you.
