00:02One person's convenience is another person's nuisance, whether it's getting in the way of prams or clams.
00:09My husband hates it. Says he wants to pick them up and throw them into the road.
00:14You could fall over one, I suppose, if the wheel's sticking out or whatever.
00:18New regulations give councils the power to set parking zones and fine operators who fail to keep their bikes inside
00:24them.
00:25We're determined to bring order to the Wild West. That's what it's like if you're walking along a pavement.
00:30The State Government will give more than $6 million to councils to roll out parking bays.
00:35It'll also establish 250 spots itself following a trial last year.
00:40The reduction in complaints was by around 50%.
00:45The City of Sydney has trialled its own parking bays, but today this one went largely ignored.
00:51We get all of the complaints. I can tell you my inbox is full of people.
00:55Asking why we aren't able to regulate our shared e-bikes, it's because we don't have a framework yet.
01:01The new powers are still months away.
01:03This government has had three and a half years to do something about it.
01:07A lot of talk, no action.
01:09No parking zones are already in force in large parts of the city.
01:12The companies use something called geo-fencing, which means I couldn't leave the bike here in Hyde Park, even if
01:18I wanted to.
01:19Riders would continue to be charged until they left it in a parking bay.
01:23But will people stop using the bikes if they can't ride from door to door?
01:27It can be a little bit annoying when you don't have a parking zone.
01:29If it slows down the use a little bit because we're asking people to park properly, that's a fair balance.
01:35Lyme says it's not a constraint.
01:37When parking is reliable and close by, riders use the service more, not less, with a million of them a
01:43month already.
01:44And then we're looking at one of the workers' clients in the city, as houses are allowed, to be able
01:44to ride on the street.
01:44So we're looking at one interest in the car and the city is allowed to run a mountain as well
01:44for the street.
01:45When parking is nice and empty, that's the only thing that we can run out of, in the area of
01:50the city.
01:50In terms of the state of the city, which has remained in the city of the city, to be a
01:50unique brand city in the city.
