Frankfurt has tackled a nuisance that preoccupies politicians and citizens in many municipalities: like Cologne, the city on the Main will no longer accept thousands of e-scooters being parked in public spaces. Mobility Department Head Stefan Majer (Die Grünen) has announced that from the 1st quarter of 2022 onwards, a start will be made on defining fixed parking spaces for the rental e-scooters in the city center. This ends the previous business model, in which the e-scooters, which were approved in German cities in June 2019 without any regulation by the Federal Minister of Transport, can be parked or rented anywhere. Read here to find out exactly how Majer's plans are and what an e-scooter provider has to say about them.

Gertrud Traud, chief economist at Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen, and Andreas Hackethal, professor of finance at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, discuss the issues with Manfred Köhler, deputy head of the Rhein-Main editorial team.
