The end of free floating scooters...
... is coming sooner than expected (September instead of January).
Oddly enought, this is due to a former scooter operator (Lime) appeal. The saga continue...
The Council of State's decision regarding licenses granted to micromobility operators is forcing Brussels Mobility to review the situation. A consultation meeting with stakeholders in the sector is scheduled for mid-August.
All shared scooters and bicycles must be removed from the streets of Brussels by September 1st at the latest. This was announced by Brussels Mobility on Thursday. This decision follows the Council of State's annulment, on Wednesday, of the authorizations granted to current operators.
Brussels Mobility is also inviting all operators in the sector to a consultation meeting scheduled for mid-August. This meeting will focus on the Council of State's ruling and its potential consequences.
On Wednesday, the Council of State overturned the licenses of current Brussels operators offering shared bicycles and scooters, which users can freely borrow and return to a designated drop-off zone. The multinational Lime, which was excluded when the Brussels Region decided to limit the number of operators, had appealed to the Council of State.
