Crypto News: Inside Tel Aviv's e-scooter transformation

High-tech workers have been flocking to Tel Aviv for years, and many move around by electric scooter, bicycle and other forms of micromobility. The company Bird has recorded more than 10 million shared rides in the last four years, and some 550,000 unique users. That's changing the face of the city: Bike lanes line roadways, allowing riders to zip past gridlock, and streets are filled with pedestrians and spaces for e-scooters.

Tel Aviv plans to more than double its bike paths to cover 350 kilometers by 2025 — part of a long-term mission to make one of the world's most congested cities car-free and pollution-free. It's also part of the city's strategy to attract more high-tech workers and keep them there. Today on Citylab, go inside Tel Aviv's micromobility revolution.
