Several municipalities in Portugal have decided to end the shared scooter service in their territories. This decision comes in a context of growing concerns about safety and urban disorder caused by these vehicles.
The companies that operate the service contest the measure taken by the municipalities. They argue that they have implemented rules to ensure the proper functioning of the system, including the mandatory photographs at the end of each trip to confirm that the vehicles are left correctly.
The companies also argue that shared scooters represent a good solution for urban mobility, contributing to reducing the use of private vehicles and the problems associated with traffic in cities.
