CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Some officials in North Carolina’s largest city are upset with supporters of a company that began offering a scooter service.
Charlotte this week told a company called Lime to stop its scooter sharing program and remove the scooters by Friday.
Local media reported Lime asked its users to email city officials to push for a continuation of the program. One city councilman complained the company has jammed his city account.
Lime started a scooter ride-share program Tuesday. The company said the scooters have been well received, with nearly 1,000 scooter trips in two days. The company didn’t say how many scooters were in service.
City officials say they had been working with Lime to create a scooter sharing program when the company ended discussions and began offering service.
