Ngo-2017, ama-scooters kagesi okwabelwana ngawo aqala ukufakwa emigwaqweni yamadolobha aseMelika phakathi kwengxabano.Seziphenduke insakavukela umchilo wesidwaba ezindaweni eziningi.Kepha iziqalo ze-scooter ezisekelwa yibhizinisi zivaliwe ngaphandle kweNew York, imakethe enkulu kunazo zonke e-United States.Ngo-2020, umthetho wezwe wagunyaza uhlobo lwezokuthutha eNew York, ngaphandle kwaseManhattan.Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, idolobha lagunyaza inkampani yesithuthuthu ukuthi isebenze.
Lezi zimoto “ezincane” “zantweza” eNew York, futhi izimo zezimoto zedolobha zaphazanyiswa umqedazwe.Ukuhamba kwabagibeli besitimela esingaphansi komhlaba eNew York kwake kwafinyelela kubagibeli abayizigidi ezi-5.5 ngosuku olulodwa, kodwa entwasahlobo ka-2020, leli nani lehla laya kubagibeli abangaphansi kwesigidi esisodwa.Ngokokuqala ngqá eminyakeni engaphezu kwekhulu, yavalwa ngobusuku obubodwa.Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-New York Transit - okuyisistimu yezokuthutha yomphakathi enkulu kunazo zonke e-United States - inciphise abagibeli ngesigamu.
Kepha phakathi kwamathemba afiphele ezokuthutha zomphakathi, i-micromobility - insimu yezokuthutha ezilula zomuntu siqu - ithola okuthile kokuvuselelwa kabusha.Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa zokuqala kwalesi sifo, i-Citi Bike, iphrojekthi yamabhayisikili okwabelwana ngayo enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni, yaqopha umlando wokusetshenziswa.Ngo-Ephreli 2021, impi yokwabelana ngebhayisikili eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nokuluhlaza phakathi kwe-Revel ne-Lime yaqala.Izikhiye zebhayisikili ze-neon blue revel manje sezivuliwe ezindaweni ezine zaseNew York.Ngokunwetshwa kwemakethe yezokuthutha yangaphandle, "ukuhlanya kwamabhayisikili" okuthengiswa kwangasese ngaphansi kwalolu bhubhane kubangele ukuphithizela kokuthengiswa kwamabhayisikili kagesi nezithuthuthu zikagesi.Izisebenzi ezingaba ngu-65,000 ziletha ngamabhayisikili e-e, zigcina uhlelo lokulethwa kokudla kwedolobha ngesikhathi sokuvalwa.
Khipha ikhanda lakho ngaphandle kwanoma yiliphi iwindi eNew York futhi uzobona zonke izinhlobo zabantu abahamba ngezithuthuthu ezinamasondo amabili zingena emigwaqweni.Kodwa-ke, njengoba amamodeli wezokuthutha eqina emhlabeni wangemva kobhubhane, ingabe sikhona indawo yama-e-scooters emigwaqweni eminyene yedolobha?
Ihlose "endaweni ewugwadule" yezokuthutha
Impendulo incike ekutheni izikuta zikagesi zisebenza kanjani eBronx, eNew York, lapho kunzima khona ukuya emsebenzini.
Esigabeni sokuqala somshayeli wendiza, iNew York ihlela ukutshala izithuthuthu zikagesi eziyi-3,000 endaweni enkulu (amakhilomitha-skwele ayi-18 ukunemba), okuhlanganisa idolobha kusukela emngceleni weWestchester County (Westchester County) Indawo ephakathi kweBronx Zoo nePelham. Bay Park empumalanga.Idolobha lithi linezakhamuzi ezihlala ngokugcwele eziwu-570,000.Esigabeni sesibili ngo-2022, iNew York ingase ihambise indawo yomshayeli iye eningizimu futhi ifake ezinye izikuta eziyi-3,000.
I-Bronx inobunikazi bezimoto endaweni yesithathu ngobukhulu kuleli dolobha, ibalwa cishe ngamaphesenti angama-40 ezakhamizi, ngemuva kweStaten Island neQueens.Kodwa empumalanga, isondele kumaphesenti angu-80.
"I-Bronx iwugwadule lwezokuthutha," kusho uRussell Murphy, umqondisi omkhulu wezokuxhumana ezinkampanini eLime, ethula inkulumo.Ayikho inkinga.Ngeke ukwazi ukuhamba ngaphandle kwemoto lapha.”
Ukuze ama-scooters kagesi abe yindlela yokuhamba evumelana nesimo sezulu, kubalulekile ukuthi ashintshe izimoto.“INew York ithathe le ndlela ngokucabanga.Kufanele sikhombise ukuthi kuyasebenza.”

Ubulungisa
I-South Bronx, emngceleni wesigaba sesibili sendawo yomshayeli we-scooter kagesi, inenani eliphakeme kakhulu lesifuba somoya e-United States futhi iyisifunda esimpofu kakhulu.Ama-scooters azosatshalaliswa esifundeni lapho amaphesenti angama-80 abahlali angabantu abamnyama noma amaLatino, futhi ukuthi kubhekwana kanjani nezinkinga zokulingana kusazoxoxwa ngakho.Ukugibela isikuta akushibhile uma kuqhathaniswa nokuthatha ibhasi noma indlela ehamba ngaphansi.Isikuta seNyoni noma i-Veo sibiza u-$1 ukusivula kanye namasenti angu-39 ngomzuzu ukusigibela.Izithuthuthu ze-lime zibiza okufanayo ukuzivula, kodwa ngamasenti angu-30 kuphela ngomzuzu.
Njengendlela yokubuyisela emphakathini, izinkampani ze-scooter zinikeza izaphulelo kubasebenzisi abathola usizo lukahulumeni noma lwezwe.Phela izakhamuzi ezibalelwa ku-25 000 kule ndawo zihlala ezindlini zomphakathi.
USarah Kaufman, isekela lomqondisi we-NYU Rudin Center for Transportation kanye nomshisekeli we-scooter kagesi, ukholelwa ukuthi nakuba ama-scooters ebiza, ukwabelana kuyindlela elula kakhulu kunokuthenga okuyimfihlo."Imodeli yokwabelana inika abantu abaningi ithuba lokusebenzisa izithuthuthu, okungenzeka bangakwazi ukuchitha amakhulu amaRandi ukuzithengela bona.""Ngenkokhelo yesikhathi esisodwa, abantu bangakwazi ukuyikhokhela."
UKaufman uthe iBronx ayivamisile ukuthi ibe ngeyokuqala ukuthola amathuba entuthuko yaseNew York—kuthathe iminyaka eyisithupha ukuthi iCiti Bike ingene kule ndawo.Futhi ukhathazekile ngezindaba zokuphepha, kodwa ukholelwa ukuthi izithuthuthu zingasiza ngempela abantu ukuqedela "imayela lokugcina".
"Abantu bayakudinga ukuhamba kancane manje, okuqhelelene kakhulu nomphakathi futhi okuzinzile kunalokhu ebesikusebenzisa phambilini," kusho yena.Imoto iguquguquka ngendlela exakile futhi ivumela abantu ukuthi bahambe ezimeni ezahlukene zezimoto, futhi nakanjani izobamba iqhaza kuleli dolobha.”
