Yep. My use case for scooters is when the bus will take too long to get me to/from work, or running errands, or when I'm too tired/it's too far to walk. I decide that I need it at the spur of the moment, and don't want to plan to have it with me.


  running errands
... is exactly the kind of use case for which these shared scooters are ill-suited.

You stop for your first errand, come back outside afterward, and bam! someone else took it. What if there are no others nearby?


Mm, good point. My use case is usually that I'll walk up to 40 minutes 1 way if I need a cable or something like that (non perishable, semi urgent) etc, but am not willing to walk 40 minutes each way. I end up ubering otherwise.
