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.

The cap is being considered as a condition for a scooter permit, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority confirmed to Business Insider.
