We’re asking people around Cardiff if they think that e-scooters are a problem around the city centre, and what they would do to make them safer.

00:00Yeah, a bit. I mean, not a problem if you're riding one. I mean, I'm sure, again, it's

00:07a quantitative thing. You've got, you benefit a large number of people because they can

00:11get around more easily. On the other hand, they do seem to be a danger. I don't know

00:16what the statistics show. I would guess that it leads to more accidents.

00:22Yeah, I suppose if you get hit by them, it could be quite dangerous, but I don't see

00:28a massive problem there right now. If more people keep using them, then maybe. I don't

00:33see a huge problem there. Yeah.

00:36I think any means of someone being able to get about is important. I think it's good for

00:40the environment. I think the problem is, especially in this town centre, people riding bikes through

00:45pedestrian areas. I think there could be maybe, and I think there should be an implementation

00:50of a way to maybe ride bikes through the city centres more safely. I think the way that

00:55it works, it's not ideal for people.
