Paris Bans Rental E-Scooters in Referendum Vote
TL;DR
Paris city council has voted to ban rented e-scooters from the French capital's streets from next year, in a blow to operators such as Lime and Bird. The council said the decision was taken due to the "anarchic" parking of the scooters and the "nuisances" they cause to pedestrians. The ban will not affect privately owned e-scooters.
