Council launches Lime Scooter survey
The Christchurch City Council has launched a 'short' online survey to get feedback from users and non-users on what they like and don’t like about the Lime electric scooters currently being trialled in Christchurch. Click through for more information and a link to the survey, but note that it is likely to take around 15 minutes to complete (which is longer that the 9-minute median trip time reported by Lime), so make yourself comfortable before starting. The survey doesn't currently have a closing date and is likely to be open until some time in January.
