Courtesy of ChatGPT:

Paris banned shared electric scooters, expecting a return to larger vehicles. Surprisingly, this led to a massive increase in dockless bike-sharing. September 2022’s 750,000 dockless bike trips surged to nearly 2 million by September 2023. This shift suggests Parisians still prefer shared mobility, now choosing bikes over scooters. The future impact of this trend on Parisian transport remains to be seen.
