In the Bay Area at least, scooter-rental companies have become the latest fad the past few years. In some places you couldn't walk 2 blocks without seeing at least one discarded scooter splayed out on the sidewalk or grassy median, perhaps kindly tilted against an alcove or tree. I live on a side street to a side street, and once every blue moon I'd see an abandoned rental scooter -- and I can't even tell you where the nearest docking station is.
- 0xffff2 7y agoI wonder where in the Bay Area this is (downtown SF?). I never see scooters in Mountain View and I don't really recall seeing them all over the place in Downtown San Jose either. The only place I've ever encountered them en masse was on a weekend trip to San Diego last year.
- drdeadringer 7y agoI live in Campbell, which is surrounded by San Jose on three sides and Los Gatos is to the south. I've seen abandoned scooters downtown San Jose and along Lite Rail stops. And yes, off and on when I visited San Francisco. Granted it seems to have calmed down the past year or so but 2 years ago I was seeing what folks were complaining about on other social media.
