Do we have a story to tell you…..did you know that everyone in Toronto Is banned from using an escooter?

This is @mckelvieto.bsky.social speaking in May about why we shouldn't allow e-scooters in Toronto, she confidently says that Chicago is walking back their pilot...so lets look at what has happened since...🧵

You know what would make this city safer? Ban the cars, not the scooters… #topoli

The ferries in Vancouver have figured out how to transport e-scooters, why can the #Toronto ferry not do it?
