Dockless scooters will disappear on September 1, 2023, in Paris. What are the alternatives for Parisians to get around the city without using them?
There are plenty of solutions in the City of Light; many mobility options allow Parisians to move freely. As a reminder, it was during a vote held last April that dockless scooters were banned from the capital.
Personal scooters
It may seem silly, but personal scooters will still be allowed in the French capital. Buying an electric scooter will cost you between 250 euros and 400 euros for a basic model. Today, renting a “Lime” scooter requires an initial unlock fee of 1 euro, plus 27 cents per minute. A 10-minute trip would cost about 3.70 euros. If you make this trip twice a day, it will cost you 7.40 euros.
Vélibs!
It’s only the dockless scooters that will be removed on September 1st; bikes will remain available for everyone. Many locations in the city offer bikes that are accessible to all. Parisians can also use their Navigo pass to access Vélibs.
Public transportation
In the summer, it’s more enjoyable to use bikes, scooters, or even walk. But when it rains or you’re running late, public transportation is very useful. Buses, metros, RER trains, and trams let you move freely around the capital.
Parisians have plenty of alternatives to get around the city.
