We all know them as those annoying street roaches that are scattered all over selected cities now a days. They can also be a good and a different way around or mode of transportation depending on who you ask though... Seems two big cities in the south Atlanta and Nashville are having similar issues in that regard rising at the same time due to recent deaths, question is which one is worse?? Should they be totally banned or just regulated?

Is this really a city vs city debate or just topic started to bash scooters?

I use the Lime Bikes all the time here in Orlando. It's a good alternative to walking a mile or two down the road, and is far better than driving around downtown.
I could see myself using the scooters. If people decide not to be cautious when operating them, that's their problem.

I'm not trying to bash the scooter, but I do think they need to be used properly and responsibly, no matter where used. I think riding them In the street is a bad idea, but that's the law they passed here in Atlanta.

By far the best long-term solution for both cities is to engineer roads that are better suited to scooters, bicycles, and the like.

It's the law here too, and it's incredibly stupid.

Milwaukee had banned them, and now they're back. Street riding, only. I'm not a fan....no matter what city they're in.

Which city has had more e-scooter-related injuries and deaths? Looks like that would be your answer.

No, realistically it's OPs way to get people to compliment Nashville.
