The city of Braga will end shared scooters starting next Tuesday. This decision marks the end of a mobility model that has been present on the city's streets.

The Braga city council cited the high number of accidents involving these vehicles as one of the main reasons for this decision. The safety of citizens was one of the central concerns that led to the implementation of this measure.

City residents agree with the council's decision, showing public support for the elimination of shared scooters from Braga's public roads.
