LANDLORDS COWER IN FEAR OF MAOTRAIN
"that train pic is too powerful lmao" - u/Cadende
It really seems like your complaints are about kids doing kid shit but you know that is stupid so you launder them through complaints about newfangled contraptions
My main issue here is the business model, not the e-scooter itself
I think easy access to essentially disposable motor vehicles incentivises stupid behaviour. If these were their own scooters I assume they'd treat them with more respect
lol you don't interact with kids very much do you
Would they leave their e-scooters blocking random streets though
We can agree this is an issue, but in my area at least this is also a large problem with the dockless rental bikes.
Where I live I've seen a couple of abandoned rental bikes but typically people seem to use them properly. The people that use them seem to be mostly adults, though whether this is because of the app being more effectively age gated or the bikes being adult-sized, I'm not sure
I also assume a bike is just less attractive for random joyrides
Edit: they're also less available, since you can only get them from docking stations spread around the city that you're also supposed to return them to
I don't think the e-scooters business model is losing out on 2 paying customers as they pile 3 at a time onto one and then also those customers getting killed. I know they're all run by bazinga tech companies but even that one's too far
