MADRID, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Operators of rental e-scooters will have until Oct. 25 to remove all their mobility devices from the streets of Madrid, the mayor’s office said on Tuesday, following an outcry against reckless driving and chaotic parking by their users.

After withdrawing their licences last month, the mayor’s office said the three foreign operators - Lime, Dott and Tier Mobility - had failed to implement limits on their clients’ circulation or control their parking to regain the licences. Amsterdam-based Dott, Germany’s Tier Mobility and U.S.-based Lime, whose scooters are available via the Uber have around 2,000 e-scooters each throughout Madrid.

    I’d rather have to deal with chaotic e-scooter parking than sit in traffic & deal with drivers in parking lots that cannot park properly.

    Sad to see this happening.
