"Lime, one of the three companies operating electric scooters in Charlotte, says its riders have crossed the 1 million-mile mark in the city.

"More than 165,000 riders have used Lime, the company says, with BB&T Ballpark and the Charlotte Rail Trail among the most-visited destinations. Lime says the trips have eliminated 1.5 million pounds of carbon emissions.

"The Charlotte Department of Transportation reports riders overall have taken 1.5 million e-scooter trips , totaling 1.7 million miles, since scooters were first permitted to operate in May 2018.

"Scooters owned by Lime and Bird were the first to appear on uptown sidewalks. A third company, Spin, has since joined the market."

In squarerootofone's VT scooter post yesterday, I stated that scooters have been here a couple of years, but evidently it just seems that long. As a member of the Lounge Automated Wayfarer Nexus (LAWN), I must be certain all our public comments are accurate. I hope this correction will help to heal all those who were hurt by my crude chronological gaffe yesterday and that I will not be asked to get off your LAWN.
