Lime Relaunches E-Scooter Service in Mexico City
Lime has returned to Mexico City with a 60-day e-scooter pilot program that began on June 10, according to mexicobusiness.news. The initiative, overseen by SEMOVI, includes the deployment of up to 1,000 e-scooters in designated commercial, tourist, and stadium areas. This marks Lime's official return to the capital after exiting in 2019 due to regulatory and space-use issues.
Program Aims to Address Past Issues
The current pilot program aims to mitigate previous challenges such as unregulated parking and sidewalk obstruction. Measures include the deployment of on-the-ground staff, designated parking zones, and a valet system, all coordinated with SEMOVI. Additionally, Lime’s fleet will be integrated into Uber’s app for enhanced accessibility. Safety initiatives, including helmet distribution and public safety education, are also part of the plan. A promotional “Fan Pass” is available for MXN 99.99 (approximately US$5.81), offering up to 90 minutes of ride time over five days during the World Cup period, as reported by mexicobusiness.news.
