These kind of articles always come off as short sighted to me in terms of ownership. Sure, short term transportation rentals (bikes scooters) are nice now and then, but they have external costs. They have to be moved/charged, people throw them in the river, they are mostly operated by independent contractors getting exploited etc. Having said that, I fully support sidelining cars in urban areas, but a bunch of rental services and Uber are not great replacements.
