In the UK, Uber continues to operate Jump and has not scrapped any bikes. https://tech.slashdot.org/story/20/0...oys-thousands- of-bikes-and-scooters An anonymous reader quotes a report from the BBC: Uber is destroying thousands of electric bikes and scooters, after selling its Jump business to Lime. Videos of its red bikes being crushed at a recycling centre were shared on social media, angering cycling advocates. Uber said it had decided to destroy thousands of its older- model vehicles due to maintenance, liability and safety concerns. But, "so what"? Don't the bikes belong to Uber? Can't one do what one wishes with one's own property? That's why I irritate a lot of greenies by not worrying about food wastage. I've been known to buy a meal at the canteen and throw it away just because I can. Drives them *insane* :-) Why? After all whether you eat the meal or not eat the meal you are still supporting the farmers of America. -- cheers, John B. |
