Parisians to Decide Fate of E-Scooters in the City
TL;DR Summary
Parisians are voting in a mini-referendum on whether to banish the 15,000 electric scooters that have become a common sight in the city. The scooters have been criticised for being a traffic menace and an eyesore, and for causing hundreds of accidents. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and some of her deputies want to banish the “free floating” flotilla on safety, public nuisance and cost-benefit grounds before the capital hosts the Olympic Games next year.
