wow that’s a solid tumblr post.

Allowing the scooters to be left on the ground is completely down to (lack of) regulation in the municipalities. the same scooter company in the same country in:
- city A: completely banned
- city B: allows scooters to be “parked” (read: abandoned) in any public space
- city C: requires scooters to be parked in designated, painted bays, out of the way of bike lanes and street crossings
In city C people get fined up the ass for parking anywhere else (you have to take a photo of it parked to end the trip) and you basically never see a stopped scooter outside an official bay.
Anywhere you see parked scooters inconveniencing people (Berlin is so bad locals have started hanging them from streetlights), the local politicians made terrible choices.
