CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) – An electric scooter rental program will resume this spring in Cedar Rapids with more scooters to share. The Gazette reports that the plan is station 80 scooters around the city — up from 30 — and hold steady on bikes at 150. The devices cost $1 to unlock and 15 cents per minute for renting over a smartphone app. Last fall city officials weighed whether to continue with the scooters after hearing reports of improper use. A city planner has justified the scooters’ return because of their popularity, new safety controls and a tightly run program.
