Title says most of it. Spin electric scooters exited the Seattle market and abandoned their scooters all over the city and apparently they have a pi 4 in them!

    Ohmygod people other than you are using the public services! The pollution!

    Seriously though, it’s going to be different in every city. Your city might not be a good place for them. My city has them being used all the time.

      They are a for profit company, not a public service.

      The scooters are not a problem on wide sidewalks and are better than more vehicle traffic, but they can certainly get in the way on narrow sidewalks.

        In some countries the public transport is run by for-profit companies too. In my city, for example, ALL of the public transport are contracted private companies. They’re all liveried as public transport, but they’re still privately run.
