Melbourne scraps Lime Bikes after six-year trial

from The Morning Show · host LiSTNR

The City of Yarra has voted to cancel Melbourne's Lime Bike program after a six-year trial, citing issues with bikes being dumped on footpaths, drunk riding, and only 0.1% of locals using the service. The decision has sparked debate about e-bike infrastructure, personal responsibility, and whether bike racks could solve the dumping problem. A separate discussion emerged about oversized American-style vehicles like Chevrolet Silverados in Australian cities, with calls for restrictions on large trucks in urban areas due to safety concerns and visibility issues.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
