3 permits, so that way there is diversity without it becoming to encumbering. Having too many scooter types would be frustrating to the residents, making them sign up for multiple accounts.

Honestly, we're sorry that happened to you. Lime was given multiple opportunities to change, we just couldn't ignore 10x as many citations.

Yeah, it's surprising to hear that. I took pride in the work and tried to deploy scooters the right way (I did occasionally see some in front of fire hydrants, etc, and I reported those to the company). From what I observe in south Baltimore, the poor deployments seem fairly evenly distributed among the companies, with Link seeming to be the worst of them.

Thankfully, we're doing tech trials which only allow scooter parking in particular zones. So far, the results are pretty good, and we'll be doing more of it.

You should know, we're super grateful for the work you did. Because of your work and others like you, scooter usage really took off in this city.
