Warsaw introduces new rules for the use of electric scooters, its city website announced today. Five vehicle rental operators have just signed an agreement with the city regulating the rules of moving and parking e-scooters in public spaces. The changes are meant to resolve the chaotic situation that has been spoiling the urban landscape of the Polish capital since the introduction of these devices in 2018, as well as to improve road safety.
