The e-scooter company Lime shared that they’ve seen a 30-35% increase in ridership just this week in comparison with last.
On a busy weekend downtown, high gas prices had some San Diegans opting for more affordable options instead like e-bikes or e-scooters. Splan, a first-time Bird rider, says he spent the afternoon e-scootering several miles.
“Lots of other people were riding birds too probably because gas prices are so high,” added Justine Garcia. The e-scooter company Bird confirmed ridership has increased in recent weeks. They provided a statement to NBC 7 reading in part: “We are working around the clock in San Diego to meet demand and to ensure our service continues to be ready when and where it is needed during this time.”
