Podkast "What happened"

What to do with electric scooters that are so much irritating to many?

Over the past few years, electric scooters in Russian cities have become noticeably more - as well as accidents with their participation. In St. Petersburg, small children were injured, who were eventually hospitalized in serious condition. The situation was noticed by security forces and officials. After searches in the largest rental services, Petersburg was left without electric scooters. Only this is unlikely to solve the problem. About how best to regulate new transport (and whose experience can be borrowed), we talk with Alexei Radchenko, urbanist, head of projects in the field of IT and transport, and the author of the DTP Map project.
