Lime Scooter in Montreal good or bad idea?

Question conne peut-être mais qu'est-ce qui empêche du monde de faire comme dans shameless et juste voler les trottinettes qui traine tout partout ?

Aucun moyen vraiment concret, mais les véhicules ont une alarme sonore et un gps. Le gros problème en France apparemment c'est ceux qui la rentrent chez eux après usage pour être sûr de l'avoir encore le lendemain, mais ce genre de pattern me semble que ça se découvre facilement en 2-3 jours avec une mise à jour logicielle qui scrute les entrées et sorties des usagers, après tu bloques le compte.

So maybe someone can shed some light on this, but if you're Lime for example what does the presentation to the city of Montreal look like? What's the use case that would make any major city agree to deploy these things? Aren't they direct competitors for the bus? How do you show incremental people traffic because these scooters are now available for mass use? Even from a tax revenue side, I don't understand why cities are agreeing to deploy these.... what quality of life need or benefit does this actually bring to the population?

They probably present it as an extension of existing public transit.

Get off the metro, grab a scooter and "ride" the last mile to your destination (vs walking or waiting for a bus)

Encouraging public transit by enhancing/reducing delays in the door to door experience? "Maximum" benefit to the users at "no cost" to the city?

I rode them in SLC. As a novelty it was neat. The helmet requirement makes it a harder sell for tourists / impromptu ride (good thing I had my mtb/helmet!)

In a single payer / public funded health care system it might be a significant burden if/when enough people get injured / brain themselves riding like idiots / drunk. People are people. This is why we can't have nice things.

I don't consider scooters or even ride sharing bikes to be proper public transit. It's it's a transit option. Public transit is something everything can use (elderly, physically empaired etc) at an affordable fixed rate. Would you have have a mass of 50-70 scooters on the road or a single double decker bus?

What many of these tech bros forget is that it's winter 5 months a year here. So it's just a novelty for the most part. Come winter months the numbers spike on STM.

It's still enjoyable 6 months a year, but yes, STM needs to keep getting better. The problem is that at 30 cents a minute, my gasoline scooter is cheaper

Or if going a short distance just walk or ride a bike. When I go to IGA near me I either walk or bike. It's bad enough those Jump cycles are clogging up the landscape next will be scooters. Then there is the entire legality of using them on bike paths. Under the CSR they are not permitted , same with electric mopeds

So far those jump don't bother me, and they look neat.
 
Je prédis qu'ils vont s'en faire voler en tabarnak pour les batteries.

Remplis la boîte de pickup avec des trottinettes. Tu t'en vas à chez vous (à St-Lin) pour ensuite les défaire pis ramasser les batteries pour faire quelque chose avec. Genre des panneaux solaires + batteries pour faire pousser du pot.
 
Sentiments mixes par rapport aux trottinettes électriques, d'un côté je reviens de l’Europe et ces trottinettes m'ont sauvé plusieurs déplacements en taxi ou autres puis ils sont quand même très le fun me rappelle pu si c'est en Bruxelles ou Berlin mais ils sont débloqués jusqu’à 27km/h, c'est assez fou la bas ya 5-6 compagnies qui en font pi t'en trouve au coin de rue et c'est le bordel côté pollution visuel, d'un autre côté j'ai vu 1 gars ce faire frapper par une auto car il a blow le stop, ouvert la tête en 2 en avant de moi, bref. Avec le monde à Montréal ça risque d'être le bordel côté sécurité, déjà assez chaotique avec les cyclistes.
 
how fast do they go? @ $18/hr on an electric scooter, or @ $0/hr by foot, I think I prefer to walk even if it's slower. That's more than half my salary.
