    It gets rid of all the unused rental scooters lying around on the sidewalk, and that was seen as the biggest nuisance. Privately owned scooters will never reach the same height of scooter littering.

    The rental scooter companies were unwilling or unable to deal with the issue. They were warned that this was becoming an issue.

      Privately owned scooters will never reach the same height of scooter littering.

      Perhaps not scooter “littering” but surely just numbers of personal transport devices.

      That is to say, if no other form of transport existed, then the presence of rental scooters would surely mean that there were fewer scooters in total and thereby fewer scooters parked on the sidewalk.
