Can scooters really help solve Indy's transit issues? - a podcast by Indianapolis Business Journal

City officials have approved new rules meant to help people in lower-income neighborhoods access scooters to get to jobs, school, bus stops or other destinations. Scooter companies—Indianapolis now has four firms registered to offer dockless services—would be required to put 10% of their scooters in so-called "access" zones.
But the new rules raise lots of questions about whether scooters would actually be a reliable source of transportation and whether the Indy residents most in need of the service actually have the tools (think smart phones and credit cards) needed to use them. 
Host Mason King and IBJ reporter Hayleigh Colombo explore the issues in an episode that also features comments from Sonya Seeder, administrator of the city’s license and permit services.
