I’m not sure I see how the private ownership of docking spaces should be relevant to DOT jurisdiction specifically. Rental car services are regulated, and owning the land housing the pickup location doesn’t avoid that probably because the vehicles are obviously used on public roadways.
- whimsicalism 2y agoare bike rental services regulated as rideshare? either way, it's sorta symptomatic of the kneejerk overregulation that is plaguing a lot of blue states. i can understand the impulse to want to regulate dockless bikes that can cause problems... but just any bike rental?
