The City of Perth says it will suspend the hire of e-scooters from midday today, following the death of a 51-year-old pedestrian who was struck in the CBD by a hired e-scooter.
Yeah I was exaggerating for effect. I wouldn’t actually call for banning them even in the city. Congestion charges to strongly discourage it, sure, along with pedestrianising large parts and designing for cyclists first with cars only as “guests” in other parts, but not an outright ban.
I would be in favour of banning them in the city.
But a complete car ban? That won’t have popular support in the near future.
