Unfortunately after the initial honeymoon period it seems like the scooter companies have jacked up their prices. Uber costs about 50% more per minute than Bird. However most trips Uber will require fewer minutes. Last time I flew, I thought it'd be fun to take a scooter home from the airport. I would've had to walk about a mile to the nearest scooter which based on my experience with Bird would have maybe a one in three chance of being broken. I ended up getting an Uber for $6. I guesstimated that the scooter rental (assuming nothing went wrong) would've been around $8 That said, when the prices were lower and the density was high enough that you could count on one being nearby, they were a fun way to get around
