West Hollywood has a message for Bird and its scooters: Fly away.
City Hall is recommending that Bird’s contract — which allows the corporate to supply rental electrical scooters as a part of the town’s much-hated Dockless Micromobility Pilot Program — not be renewed when it expires on March 31. Bird and its rival, Lime, are the one two scooter corporations with metropolis contracts.
The determination is a direct response to Bird’s chapter announcement on the finish of 2023.
Since their introduction in West Hollywood greater than 5 years in the past, the fleets of electrical scooters made and managed by Bird, Lime and different producers have created a litany of havoc for pedestrians and motorists as they trailblazed this novel type of transportation.
