E-scooters in Brisbane face ongoing parking issues despite geofencing, prompting criticism over infrastructure and contract transparency.
In Brisbane, dockless e-scooters from Lime and Neuron continue to face challenges with improper parking, especially at zone edges where they block footpaths despite geofencing and designated parking bays.
Since replacing the discontinued CityCycle bike system in 2021, e-scooters have become dominant, but advocacy groups criticize the city for not repurposing old docking stations or expanding off-footpath parking.
Operators claim most users park responsibly, using photo verification and relocation efforts, while the council holds them accountable and has installed 24 e-mobility hubs with more planned.
Past issues with another operator, Beam, which exceeded vehicle limits and cost the city revenue, led to its merger with Neuron, but concerns remain about contract transparency and reinvestment in pedestrian infrastructure.
