San Francisco is considering a measure that would limit the number of electric scooters available to rent in the city to 500 per company. It's a response to the venture-backed electric scooter startups, which have become a nuisance for commuters, as the vehicles are left blocking sidewalks or barring entryways. In response, scooter startup Bird revealed that it has 1,600 scooters in the city, and that 32,000 riders have taken advantage of it in the month since it launched. San Francisco is considering limiting the number of electric scooters allowed in the city to 500 per company — and at least one scooter company already opposes the measure. The cap is being considered as a condition for a scooter permit, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority confirmed to Business Insider.
