I could easily enter public transport with these, that’s not always the case with scooters where I live. Scooters are also quite heavy and can hit things while carrying them around. I don‘t consider scooters suitable for my commute, and they haven’t really gotten the adoption from commuters they should have if they were that good.
- Karrot_Kream 4y ago(Sorry for the tangent.) Are the spaces tight enough around you where the scooter is inconvenient? I didn't expect e-scooters to become as popular as they did where I live but they've taken the area by storm, and it seems especially strong among the crowd that still commutes.
- manmal 4y agoYes I think spaces are just too tight, people would constantly bump each other. Or often there’s just not enough space to stow a scooter.
- asdff 4y agoI see people bring scooters on the train. The issue is people have these huge hulking scooters that they refuse to fold up (not the kind bird uses these things look like they are 50 lbs), so they are standing there holding the handles while 3ish feet of scooter is sitting behind them taking up valuable floor space on the train. Plus it only works with a few people on board, if the entire train of people each had a scooter we'd have to redesign our stations to be way longer to fit the longer trains needed to accomodate all the wasted space. Bikes are the same way on the train honestly: great if you are the only one with a bike, clumsy if you aren't. My skateboard on the other hand, I just stick it in between my legs and its like its not there.
