2 年I'm glad Madrid have decided on just three partners for e-scooters, as previously it was a total mess with scooters all over the place from many different MSP's. That just creates confusion and from an amenity perspective doesn't look good. Hopefully we will see some proper bays as well, then I'll have a go on one. ??
