Bolt says that removing scooters reduces economic and sustainable options for those living in Lisbon

Bolt argues that the removal of shared electric scooters in Lisbon limits affordable and sustainable mobility options for residents. The recent decision by the city council, led by Carlos Moedas, to suspend these services until the end of the year has raised concerns. Bolt highlights that 78% of scooter trips in 2025 were made by locals, primarily for short distances and connections to public transport. The company claims to have adhered to municipal regulations and proposed better parking solutions. They emphasize the importance of maintaining shared scooters for urban mobility and express willingness to collaborate with the city on a sustainable model.
