He believes that “by slightly reducing the number of scooters and relying on a single operator”, the city intends to achieve its “objectives for a better living environment for the people of Lyon”.
“The city of Lyon reserves the possibility of launching a new call for projects, if it considers that the level of service to Lyonnaises requires it,” specifies the press release.
