Great idea, lousy implementation. The problem: humans, they have no common sense how to use, where to ride, nor where to leave these things. Bird, and Green Line never factored that into their business plan.

Their app plainly marks this area as a no-go zone.
If I were them, I would charge a $50 retrieval fee......

AKA Scooter IED’s. The Stupid is Strong here. Cut the battery in two, fill the void thereby created with explosives surrounded by nails with a Casio watch timer and voila: dead soldiers.

Just so...and because the ubiquitous abandoned scooters have become common sights that no one pays much attention, see nothing, say nothing...

What are those things?

When they said scooters, I thought of those wretched little Vespa type things that infest Hawaii.

The little Vespa things already get turned into greasy smears as they wobble along 10-20mph slower than traffic, hopefully staying to the side with bicycles.

The tourists are usually the ones to mow them down, not used to seeing them in traffic.

These effing things are all over SLC. The fools ride them around at night in dark clothing. Ice almost killed a couple. The lights on them are jokes.
