City of Melbourne e-Scooter Ban

Rental e-scooters will soon disappear from Melbourne’s CBD after the council voted to end operator contracts.

Bad behaviour and safety concerns were cited as some of the leading reasons, but many have been left disappointed by this decision, especially since e-scooters were only introduced in 2022.

Guest: Hussein Dia, Swinburne Professor of Future Urban Mobility.

Presenter: Warren Andrew.
