Those already exist in Santa Monica. The “dockless” part is what drives the issue. The docked bikes usually end up where they should. The dockless scooters and bikes are put anywhere and everywhere, even if appropriate parking is available. The solution Bird came up with was to pay people who capture their scooters more for challenging returns.
Sorry, I guess I meant have way more spaces for dockless options than we have for docked bikes. Just like dockless cars can park in many different parking spaces.
