City feels the Lime heat
Lime scooters are creating a memory of journeys in the Tron
Two months after their launch in Hamilton, Lime scooters are lighting up the city courtesy of the company’s heatmap system of tracking journeys..
And a spokesperson for Lime Robert Jeromson says after a successful launch the company is considering doubling the number of scooters on the city’s streets.
“We’ve been really happy with rider adoption in Hamilton since we launched in August.
We have had some really positive feedback from happy riders, and receive many requests to expand further into the suburbs,” Jeromson said.
The company is now considering boosting the city’s scooter fleet from the current 200 to operate between 400 – 500 scooters.
“Hamilton is experiencing strong demand for micromobility use across the city and most trips are on commuter pathways, with the main travel routes being around the CBD, along the river, and out to the Hamilton Gardens.
“We are always getting requests for Lime scooters in new areas, and we will continue to explore how we can expand our operations to complement existing public transport options. We also encourage the public to get in touch to let us know where they’d like to see our scooters next,” Jeromson said.
One Hamilton Lime rider, Jimmy Jiang, said he was glad “something up to date was coming into this small place [Hamilton]”.
