About 1,500 e-scooters across Melbourne were on Monday being loaded, one by one, into trucks and taken out of city limits hours before a ban on rental operators took effect.
On Tuesday, the City of Melbourne’s ban on shared e-scooters will begin, right before the AFL grand final weekend – one of the busiest times for users in the year. The two companies who operated schemes under a trial, Lime and Neuron, will be subjected to penalties if they do not remove the scooters from city streets by the morning.
