I worked in downtown San Antonio, one of the markets being pulled from. Scooters were very popular when they first arrived, but pretty much none of my coworkers used them any more. The main issues are cost and time. It takes too long to open the app and get riding and it costs too much. Downtown here is also pretty walkable, so the high costs don’t make much sense when I could be getting exercise. The scooters are also fairly miserable when it’s 104F in the summer and 40F in the winter, making them very seasonal. They are banned on sidewalks here, but I had no issues riding them in the slow downtown SA traffic.
