Which city has voted in April 2023 to ban rental electric scooters from the streets of the city? |
Rome Paris Bern Madrid |
Paris |
Parisians have voted to ban rental electric scooters from the streets of the city, with 89% of voters in favor of the proposed ban. The referendum was held on Sunday, but only 7% of eligible voters turned out. The ban will come into effect on September 1, 2023. The introduction of e-scooters in Paris in 2018 was seen as a green alternative to cars, but they soon became a source of controversy as the number of accidents involving them rose. Many Parisians complained that the scooters were “an eyesore and a traffic menace”. |
