Lisbon approves suspension of shared scooters

The Lisbon City Council has approved the suspension of shared scooters, set to be implemented by the end of the year. The decision faced opposition from the Livre and IL parties, despite support from the governing coalition. The measure aims to address safety concerns due to increased complaints and incidents involving scooters. Operators must remove all scooters within 60 days, or face penalties. The proposal also includes commitments to enhance cycling infrastructure and a new regulation for soft mobility within a year.
