The problem with this in my city is that the scooters are substantially more expensive than the taxi, which doesn't make any sense. I've often found that I can choose between a 1h scooter ride or a 30m taxi ride, and the scooter would be about twice the price.

I've used them a few times just for the fun of riding, and they are probably cheaper for very short distances, but that's it.

The traffic is so bad in my city that a 30 minute taxi ride is as fast as a 15 minute scooter ride in many days.
