SDOT shuffles the scooter & bike share mix
by Frank Chiachiere from Seattle Transit Blog on (#5Z6XV)
After careful review, we selected three scooter companies to receive operation permits for 2022-2023: Lime, LINK (by Superpedestrian), and Bird. In addition to scooters, riders continue to have the option of renting shared bicycles from Lime and Veo.
In addition to welcoming back Lime and LINK (by Superpedestrian), we are excited to welcome Bird. Bird operates in over 400 cities and has a demonstrated commitment to safety and sustainability. They will bring their newest third generation of scooters to Seattle, which offers a safer ride and longer battery life than their earlier models.
It wasn't that long ago that bike share seemed to be on the way out in favor of scooters.
