>Imagine how awesome scooters would be if a city had as many scooter parking spaces as it did car parking spaces, and as many scooter lanes as it did car lanes... Right, exactly. Parking would take up a fraction of the space of car parking, emissions would be lower, etc. (They don't necessarily need to be dedicated scooter lanes either; bikes are moving at similar speeds and with similar risk, so protected bike lanes would work well for both.) I could bike to just about anywhere I might want to go in the city I live in within about 35 minutes. I'm sure I'd be healthier, I'd be lowering my emissions vs. driving, and in many cases I'd get there faster than via public transport: the routes don't cover everything and bus/train service is infrequent enough that you often have to wait. I don't, because I don't feel safe enough on the streets here; they're designed with cars in mind, for high speeds. I wish we had infrastructure designed for bikes and scooters alongside the car infrastructure, because I would absolutely use them. EDIT: And if you want to see what the alternative could look like, take a look at this video and think about how many cars you would need to move all those people: https://youtu.be/ynwMN3Z9Og8 https://youtu.be/ynwMN3Z9Og8
