I couldn't resist, I took another scooter ride just for fun at lunch today, from R&T Park to Laurier-Waterloo Park.
As I came back up and crossed at University Ave, I didn't dismount, although I did propel the scooter by foot rather than riding it. As I reached the north side and continued on the MUT, I overhead the three people standing beside the usual religious propaganda stand discussing the fact that I didn't dismount. I wonder if they were official pilot reviewers, or just disgruntled "Old Man Yells at Cloud" types who's letter to the editor shall be forthcoming?

Oh, I also discovered the 'Pause Ride' feature, which I used when dismounting my scooter to film an ION coming Northbound through Waterloo Park. Another Android bug: When I swiped back to the app to resume my ride it showed the usual screen that showed my location beside a single convenient scooter with a Scan to Ride button. I clicked it and scanned my scooter, and got the message that the scooter was locked to another user. I immediately felt that gut punch / sick to the stomach feeling, thinking that I would have to resume my trip by foot while getting charged endlessly for my locked/paused scooter. After dismissing the message, lo and behold the screen had changed to the GPS map with one lone scooter, and a Resume Ride button in place of Scan to Ride. I tapped it and the scooter faithfully unlocked, allowing me to make my return trip. These glitches are frustrating, but at least they haven't cost me any money so far...
