E-Scooter: In Munich's old town only at designated spots

The Bavarian state capital Munich is taking action against the excessive number of scooters in the city center and has now ordered the establishment of special parking zones for electric light vehicles within the Altstadtring. The e-scooters of the current five providers may then only be parked in 40 fixed spots. Otherwise, the time for users continues. Additionally, users will be required to send a photo of the parked scooter to the operator. The operators intend to financially incentivize proper parking, as it is said. The regulation was jointly developed by the Department of Mobility and the e-scooter sharing operators. Currently, around 10,000 e-scooters are in operation with the five providers.
