The program provides access to zero-emission transportation for people who can't afford electric cars
The program involves about 2,000 bikes and scooters between the two companies. Bird users pay $1 to unlock one of the vehicles using a phone app, plus another 15 cents per minute. Veo users pay $1 an hour. Both companies offer discounts for income-qualified users.
The scooters are visible around the city every day, leaning against walls, standing on sidewalks, and lying on patches of grass. The companies use GPS technology and pick-up vans to locate the bikes and scooters and replace them in 30 or so “docking stations” — parking lot-sized boxes painted on the pavement — throughout Newark’s five wards.Officials say the city does not pay NewarkGo’s capital or operating costs, though it does share in the program’s revenues.
