So are they allowed to take the scooter in class with them? lol Or do they have scooters locks outside like they have for bikes?

Where is this scooter once they arrive???

Depends on the scooter.

I was down at UVA today picking-up the wife and saw scores of students on them.....Looks like they just drop them off in mostly a pile then go to class.....E-Bikes too.

I did not notice any signage as to where to leave them. I guess they all have trackers on them or something.

More like being conditioned to use a card for transportation that can be tracked.

All part of same game.

Sounds like a good way to get around on a big campus. What's the problem? Is it security?

Is walking too hard for them?

It's probably on-campus fleet scooters and they use some kind of card.

There's no real parking at UVA other than the PITA parking garage so I "staged" at a mall a couple of miles away and had the wife call me when she left her room upon discharge. I saw a bunch of students headed in on E-scooters/bikes when I left my staging area.

But like I said they just sort of left them in a pile here and there. I saw little knots of them left all over the sidewalks.

I suspect they go to the nearest pile, use their phone to pay (with daddy's CC no doubt), then take off and leave them elsewhere.

I think e-scooters----probably the least expensive way to go

$65.00 a day for an E-Bike, I don't know if they charge by the minute or not.
