Despite the poor voter turnout (no digital voting), citizens voted overwhelmingly in favour of banning shared scooters in the city, coming into effect on 1st September. For people in the shared mobility industry, it came as a bit of a shock—or perhaps a reality check. It highlighted that there are still several problems that need to be solved with dockless scooters, despite the amazing progress that has been made to make services safer.  Over the summer, Dott, Lime & TIER have been slowly removing their ..read more
