News, latest news,

A survey of more than 1900 people found that most Canberrans don’t want the Beam and Neuron study to end. Two thirds are in favor of expansion into the outskirts. As part of ACT Transport’s six-month review of the system, the survey found that the majority of Canberrans had eagerly embraced the new transportation option that hasn’t been seen since the e-bike library. Canberrans ages 16 to 34 were most likely to use the scooters, followed by those ages 35 to 54. Of those 55 and over, only seven percent had reportedly had a ride since the scooters were introduced in September. Canberrans were most likely to jump on an e-scooter for fun, while commuting to work, visiting stores, and accessing public transit were also cited as reasons. ACT Secretary of Transportation Chris Steel said those wishing to expand outside of current restrictions would appreciate having scooters brought to their homes. “This underscores the desire for more diverse, flexible, and local transportation options,” said Steel. Results: Despite widespread support, Mr Steel said a significant portion of Canberrans had concerns about the behavior of e-scooter users. In response, the ACT government has launched an e-scooter safety campaign that focuses on road traffic rules and etiquette. The series of road safety videos, published across a variety of digital channels, is particularly aimed at young Canberrans, who are the biggest consumers of e-scooters. The above results are used in addition to the results of a second survey of 1421 mostly e-scooter users to gain insight into a government-commissioned review of the first six months of the joint e-scooter program.
