I think that was the right decision. #Melbourne https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/help-save-e-scooters-battle-begins-over-council-backflip-20240813-p5k1z8.html

@timrichards what is needed is better bike lane infrastucture, not banning car free options

@jellibat I did email the mayor yesterday pointing out it's partly the council's fault, for not pedestrianising more of the CBD and thus freeing up more space for bikes etc
