More tax money down the drain.
What is bike ridership vs. scooters that are privately funded and taxed by city= taxpayer profit vs. taxpayer drain>?
Scooters were cheap and competitive for a year or two because they were intensely burning VC money. That money has run dry, and therefore many scooter companies have collapsed. The remaining have tripled their pricing, and therefore usage has shifted back to bikeshares have a lower cost operating model and therefore have maintained relatively low pricing. Basically Tortoise and the Hare.
If you think spending 1.2mm of federal money to increase a great asset in the city that also really adds to our tourism profile then….. Maybe you do not understand how our city is funded and how federal tax dollars work?
Good! Can we get rid of the scooters now, please?
They probably had to add more because of all the crackheads that keep stealing them. I have seen them spray painted. This is all over the near south side.
