E-scooters will be banned from Paris after residents of the French capital voted overwhelmingly to get rid of the 'nuisance'
The capital has some 15,000 scooter rentals, after the city brought them in in 2018 in a bid to introduce more sustainable and active travel for residents.
City Hall asked Parisians in its referendum on Sunday if they were "for or against self-service scooters in Paris?" Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo told Agence France-Presse ahead of the referendum that “self-service scooters are the source of tension and worry” for Parisians. She added that barring them would “reduce nuisance” in public spaces.
The voters' "very clear message now becomes our guide", she said. "With my team, we'll follow up on their decision as I had pledged."
