What Do You Think About The Newest Scooter Trend In Detroit?
Bird Scooters have popped up everywhere in Dowtown Detroit in the past month, some people are hoping to see them expand to even further out of the metro population. Would you want to see them in more places?
So far, metro Detroiters have not been kind to the influx of scooters that seem to have taken over the downtown area. Between the riders who seem to not think that traffic laws apply to them, and the scooters littering the sidewalks, the newest mode of transport to spring up seems to be more of a hinderance than a beneficial addition.
Two companies have been the primary forces behind the drop offs, recently hitting the city-imposed limit of 300 scooters per company. Another company is also priming itself to enter the market, but have yet to make an appearance.
According to Mark de la Vergne, Detroit’s chief of mobility innovation, while speaking to the Detroit Free Press he noted that the city is looking at expanding the cap for the number of scooters per company next spring.
So what do you think? Should they keep the scooters, or are they just a nuisance?
