Lime Scooter Share

What I got from tvot's comment is that they normally have a 45 minute walk, and by using a combination of scooter and walking, their trip was reduced to 30 minutes. Now, I don't know the walking speed, but if I assume a pace of approximately 10 min/km, then tvot has a 4.5 km walk. The 2.4 km scooter ride that would normally take 24 minutes was reduced to 9 minutes, and the rest of the walk was as usual. So, the scooter part that was paid for was a 63% time savings.

I think that compared to other modes of transportation, Lime isn't cheap. But if you think of it as saving fifteen minutes of travel time for under $3, it isn't too bad. And they're kind of fun to ride too.

I will confirm that this is accurate.

But despite being fun to ride, I'd rather walk or bike. I could really only see myself using one again if I had walked over to the UW area and wanted to speed up my trip home... maybe the next time I walk over to Kismet.
