Lime scooters are basically a scam. They’re just bad in general.

74 Upvotes

I forget what the orange scooters were called but they were much better than these lime ones. They had some sync issues but not nearly as bad. I would take the scooters if I was running late or just to get around because they’re fun, affordable and faster than walking.

With these lime scooters, they are:

  1. Hardly ever charged
  2. Everywhere is a slow zone
  3. Always damaged
  4. Ridiculously expensive
  5. This is the worst and make them useless) they sync horribly with wherever the road is supposed to be. they just hardly ever work.

I can spend all day nit picking but the fact that they can never tell where the road is regardless of if your in the centre of the road or actually on the sidewalk, makes things things useless, morally wrong and dangerous to those who use them and traffic.

$10 for $10 is just criminal especially when with these scooters you need to push them half of the way anyway. All in the name of safety meanwhile they charge u every second of the way for their technological flaws. I think like is by uber but its cheaper and more convenient to get an uber than use these things because they’re just don’t work. More than half of the time it’s stuck screaming at you “stay off the sidewalk”. Meanwhile your on a path or the middle of the road. And it’s so obvious that it’s just so they can milk more money from people.

They need to loosen up every aspect of these things or just have a new service because these scooters are useless. Can’t expect much else from a service who charges people more or less based on their online spending habits 👎 absolute sin

Fun things to do in Waterloo with friends visiting for a day?

6 Upvotes

My friends are visiting from BC this Friday. We’ll be around the university area and have GRT passes, so we’re open to exploring other parts of the region too.

What are some fun things we could do together while they’re here? I’m open to anything, whether it’s food spots, fun activities, or places worth checking out!
