To me it's just completely unfair how little time we're requiring these scooter programs to get things "right". The automobile has been a scourge on cities for generations and we've allowed this as long as they're willing to show incremental improvements. Scooters are like 70% of the way there; in a few years they'll have it sorted.
- Nasrudith 7y agoTo be fair there are some substantial differences - cars brought some majorly new things to the table. Scooters aren't new nor are the many niches filled - community bike shares cover many but not all of the niches (the sweat factor). Even if they are being judged unduly harsh they bring lesser benefits to the table.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoIf people are using scooters a lot, doesn't that by itself demonstrate that they do fill many niches?
