Madrid to Ban App-Rented E-Scooters Over Safety Concerns
The city cites failure to meet safety regulations by operators Lime, Dott, and Tier Mobility.
- Licenses of the three operators will be canceled starting in October.
- The ban follows similar measures in Paris, Montreal, and Melbourne.
- Operators failed to control reckless driving and chaotic parking of e-scooters.
- Madrid had imposed new regulations in 2023 to improve safety.
- Operators have 20 days to appeal the decision.
