Save the Scooters, Redesign the Streets, and Save San Francisco
from What's New · host WIRED
The scooters have disappeared from San Francisco. In anticipation of regulations that took effect today, Bird, Lime Bike, and Spin have warehoused their fleets of the shared electric two-wheelers. They won’t be able to redeploy them unless the city grants them a special permit, which could take the better part of the month. Good riddance, many will say. The city should cap their numbers, control their behavior, or, better yet, incinerate the whole lot. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
