If someone did the exact same business model just with cars instead of e-scooters they would probably be celebrated instead of banned.
Carsharing exists
In Prague, specifically?
AAA did a similar service with cars in my area and someone did one with mopeds but both those seem to have died. I had to call AAA several times because people parked the cars blocking my apt building’s driveway so the inconvenient clutter issue seems to scale for some reason. The scooter/ebike service that’s survived so far in my area will unload a whole fleet in the middle of a busy sidewalk and just leave them there it really is quite badly managed. The docked (Lyft) bikes are much less of a nuisance clutter-wise but aren’t well maintained so people don’t use them much.
I suppose Prague does not have dedicated bike lanes.
I support this, they are usually parked very bad and annoying to go around.
Yes but banning them is not the solution. E.g. in Frankfurt, Germany, we just have parking zones in the city center, usually by train stations. You cannot start or end a ride from anywhere else inside the city center. This has much improved the degree of chaos created.
They have scooters from the future??
What technological breakthroughs in e-scooter technology have been achieved in the next year?
I’ve been to cities that use e-scooters and I’ve never seen “chaos”. In fact, I saw very few “tossed” on the ground.
I swear it’s just attentional bias for most people. You are so used to other things and uniterested in “well-behaved” scooters, that you think there is chaos.
