Whoever parks illegally a scooter rented you will receive one fine. For example, those who abandon the vehicle on the sidewalk, with consequent obstacle to pedestrian traffic, will receive a fine of 30 euros. This is one of the innovations introduced in Rome from Helbiz, one of the companies that offers scooters for hire to citizens and tourists in the capital. Furthermore, those who do not respect the rules of the road will be charged for all the costs relating to fines and removals for abandoned vehicles prohibited from parking.
The second novelty is the detection of 180 virtual and physical stalls where it will be possible to park up to a maximum of five scooters. Users will be able to continue to park even outside the stalls identified by paying an additional fee. According to what has been learned, the parking lots will be located near the underground stations, the main bus stops and the main stations of the capital. Finally, the operational area of the vehicles will also be extended to the peripheral districts of the city.
Thanks to these new strategies, the company explains in a note, the fares for single journeys have been reduced to 0.12 euros per minute plus 0.50 cents to unlock. “Helbiz is a company that pays great attention to sustainability and urban decorum and strongly believes in the importance of micro-mobility as a tool to improve city livability. The system of sanctions that we will adopt is aimed at ever better protecting a unique city in the world like Rome, its citizens and tourists who live every day, discouraging the adoption of incorrect behavior”, said Luca Santambrogio, Country Manager of Helbiz.
