I own a car and yet I still Uber and walk. Sometimes you walk somewhere and are too lazy to walk back. Maybe you walk to your friends house and they drive you to a restaurant and now you don’t want to walk all the way back. Tons of use cases where “transit comes to me” is better than “I go to transit” or “I babysit transit”.
Cars ruin cities and are expensive. Scooters are comparably cheap and low impact (visually, physically, acoustically, etc). The issue is that the road system is designed for cars (lanes) and sometimes walkers (sidewalks) and by a rare miracle bikes (bike lanes). Do you drive scooters in the sidewalk (illegal, annoying, likely to get them banned) or in the street (dangerous, bikers all have horror stories, nevermind scooters!) or ambiguity (bike lane?). If we had “alt mobility lanes” for bikes and scooters and one wheels and long boards and all that shit then it’d be so easy.
