Having returned yesterday from a few days in Greater Los Angeles I was interested by the piece on Uber and E-scooters. We noticed them primarily in downtown LA. Our arrival was towards the end of the working day on a Friday. For the next two days there were large numbers of seemingly abandoned e-scooters as all of the competing providers work on the basis of them being dockless. The number of scooters actually in use seemed to be few. What was interesting was that on Monday the situation did not change. There is vast oversupply and although we noticed some attempts to round them up and stand them up there were many lying around haphazardly on the pavements. A few were sighted on a trip out to Santa Monica but, in general, there did not seem much enthusiasm for them. Of the ones that we did see in use they seemed to have riders who treated pedestrians and traffic as a big game and any traffic rules were ignored.
