    Likely Lime users not in the used car market anyway

    No threat to Turners here

    Might even see Line users say to themselves heck owing a car might be a good idea ...good for Turners

    Going to be interesting seeing what "the disruption" Lime Scooters cause.
    So far the business model looks fantastic to me,although a cold winter here will be the test.
    I am noticing most of the users appear to be under 20,and a lot of school aged teens.Well in my area.
    My first thoughts are ChCh buses will lose a lot of custom.Whether or not this means a reduction in bus services, time will tell.Reduction of bus services will see more cars on the road.
    May even see out of town residents driving into ChCh, and leaving their car out of the central city, and getting to work on a Lime Scooter.
    I do not see either Toyota or Ford stopping producing cars and building scooters anytime soon.

    Interesting noting Motor Trade Finance, Moorhouse Ave, is owned by two very experience ex car dealers,Simon O'Connell, and Brent Robertson [Brents Toyota].Perhaps financing is more profitable?

    Chch and Auckland very different markets Percy. Huge amount of major new multi level housing developments (very intensive zoning allowed by Auck Council) going on very close to existing transport infrastructure, (train and bus stations). Overseas research is showing more and more young people are more keyed in to having the latest smart phone than wanting a car and if its easy and cheap to catch public transport and then use a Lime scooter or some other ride share platform that's what they'll increasingly be doing. I think the Lime scooters are a bit of a game changer for public transport because previous people who were reluctant to use it because of the walk from the train station to work have had that problem solved for them. The daily cost of parking in central Auckland has gone from expensive to completely ridiculous. I see Lime and their ride sharing ilk as having meaningful long term demand implications for customers of the type that might previously have bought a cheap second hand car.

    They might have been if Lime wasn't so incredibly convenient for them. 1.2 million rides in such a short time tells you this Lime movement has real momentum
    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...ectid=12191975 I would imagine from what I have seen its mostly young people might have otherwise bought a cheap car...old Beagles wouldn't dare ride one...balance is hopeless

    You Old Limers haven't looked into the cost yet have you? https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/mon...me-escootering. Once the novelty wears off and the weather gets worse, the costs will put off a lot of people. Or so my <20's kids are telling me. Uber, that's their favourite go to transport. Or train, or bus in the city. Fancy Lime Scooters being more expensive than all of them.

    Not sure what this has to do with TRA.
