So we can say 6% were firmly against. <1% were supportive of e-scooters. 93% didn't care either way but were more than likely against.
I am pro micromobility but some of these companies business models is a complete disservice to public order. It's a real tragedy of the commons. The companies that could implement scooter pens would lose marketshare to the ones that don't since a scooter on any corner is more convenient than a scooter stored more than a block away.

Make it a condition for operating in the city, just like being capped to 20 or 25kmh is an obligation. Take a car parking space every x00m and make it a e-scooter parking space. That would solve a lot of the nuisance
- yardie 4y agoMy city did exactly that. They created scooter pens from public parking. Cars and delivery trucks would park in them regardless. The scooter parking signs and stickers disappeared. And scooter riders just parked in and around those occupied spaces. Apparently some of the nearby businesses were upset "their" public parking was taken way. So they intentionally damaged scooter pens or parked in them. Rumored.
