Paris votes on banishing e-scooters
Amid complaints that e-scooters are an eyesore and a traffic menace, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and some of her deputies want to banish the “free floating” flotilla – so called because scooters are picked up and dropped off at their renters’ whim – on safety, public nuisance and cost-benefit grounds before the capital hosts the Olympic Games next year.Paris’ deputy mayor for transport, David Belliard, says the scooters have been involved in hundreds of accidents. He also says they are more environmentally damaging than walking or riding a bike or bus, and too speedy and anarchic in a crowded, compact and historic city where space is at a premium.
