City leaders approved a plan to allow only one company, Lime, to operate scooters in the city after the once-popular e-scooter company Bird filed for bankruptcy.
West Hollywood leaders approved a plan allowing one company, Lime, to operate its scooters in the city after the once-popular e-scooter company Bird filed for bankruptcy.'We can't let one bad company take away from the extremely popular demand of people wanting different transit options that don't include cars,' Mayor John Erickson said. Erickson added that Bird's bankruptcy won't change the city's commitment to allow scooters.
City leaders and residents across the area believed that there were too few regulations that contributed to the gruesome injuries and complaints. There were also concerns about how many scooters were in operation and where they could be parked. Many of the issues were ironed out and the scooters remained popular, but the pandemic and other economic forces have apparently made staying in business a challenge for some of the E-scooter companies.
