Though this is certainly their right and I agree with the decision, I think this was sort of overplayed. What I personally would have liked to see is a "deposit" tax of $10- or some amount included in each rental. Then, if scooters are brought back to specific areas, determined by the city, the person who brings it back gets back their $10. I'm confident an appropriate deposit tax would've satisfied both parties and perhaps gave passerbys an incentive to pick them up.
