City sees successful scooter season

The City of Cranbrook is reporting another good year of the Bird Canada e-scooter program.

There was 22,977 total rides, up three per cent from last year.

City staff said that was in part due to a longer operating season.

The average rides per user went up 30 per cent, but the number of unique riders went down 20 per cent with 2,553.

While there was a decline in new riders, city staff said the numbers show those who used the service rode more often.

The scooter program is set to return in the spring of 2026.
