what would it take for you to not destroy rental scooters? Would a docking system be preferable? I'm just curious, I personally ride a bike to get around, so I

  I don't have any problems with properly-stowed transportation implements. Docks take-up too much room and would suck-up real-estate from the public commonwealth for private, exclusive use... too much of that is already happening. Underutilized "bikeshare" pod programs stole large areas of curbside real-estate while offering nothing in return for all residents (unless they paid money). It's a Tragedy of the Commons-situation knowingly-created by these irresponsible, asshole rental companies for $$$ by not demanding proper parking from the asshole segment of their customer-base. I've seen piles of these goddamn things on street corners, rendering entire sidewalks unusable in orthogonal directions. Elimination of all asshats who throw scooters in the middle of public commons and thoroughfares. These incidents are why they are banned from large areas of town and on certain campuses. They should just be banned period. Full stop. Bring your own, or rent one you can carry and must return. Ephemeral transactionality leads to this sort of Idiocracy-backdrop bullshit: https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2018/03/bike-share-oversupply-in-china-huge-piles-of-abandoned-and-broken-bicycles/556268/ https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2018/03/bike-share-oversup...

    Noted. I personally don't see a problem. The streets and sidewalk belong to the city; so the city is free to license them as it chooses.
