Denver is actually doing a good job with scooters, according to this professor
Despite controversy surrounding Denver's transition to Veo Micromobility as the sole provider, a professor found that the city is performing well with scooters. Hale Erkan, an assistant business professor at Arizona State University, reported that Denver has consistently high utilization rates, averaging 2.5 rides per scooter per day based on recent data. This rate significantly exceeds the average across the 37 US cities.
