Bird promises more scooters for Kansas City's east side
More electric scooters might arrive soon in Kansas City's urban core, providing a much-needed transportation option, after KMBC 9 News started asking questions of company officials and city leaders this week. KMBC questioned city and transit leaders based on observations from the Bird app - showing a heavy concentration of scooters parked west of Troost Avenue on several days over the past three weeks.
If placed on the east side they will be ridden as the ole saying goes off into the sunset to never been seen again.
ReplyDeleteThere are already scooter "corpses" all over downtown and the Plaza. Flat tires, damaged and unusable, or just don't work.
ReplyDeleteThis latest move will just accelerate their demise.
Then we'll have a "scooter desert" that somehow it will be the responsibility of the taxpayers to solve.
And yet new opportunities for fake nonprofits and grifters.
Another "recognizing an emergency" spending decision from the council coming.
A new, greener way to commit drive bys.
ReplyDeleteAt least quieter drive bys. Imagine the response to the investigating officer. The person drove off on a scooter.

ReplyDeleteScooters on the east side really??? Do you think they go faster than a pair of Nike's?
^^lame and tired shtick.
ReplyDeleteNope. Hilarious! Now, take a knee, and suck those KaeperDix.
DeleteThe city should sue the eastside tax money already collected to jump start this program.
ReplyDeletethe more scooters, the better, as long as it's self-sustaining.
ReplyDeletethese things are amazing.
Who in their right mind will take the job of gathering up the scooters in the hood for recharging ?
ReplyDeleteI don’t know Maude, probably someone not afraid of their own shadow unlike you.
DeleteSome one start a scooter repair business. Sounds like cash flow opportunity to me.
