No form of transport covers literally all cases, it doesn’t make it useless. For the majority of office commuters, not having to pay for parking and being able to reach public transport which would otherwise be too far is a huge plus.

Funny cause that is exactly what people buy cars for. Which is what we need a good replacement for. E-Scooters are fine but not what will get rid of heavy cars.
