New York riders - starting today, NYC service will be shut down until further notice. We’re reviewing and strengthening our rider accountability and safety measures and communicating with city officials, and we look forward to serving you again in the near future.

To all those celebrating this closure, where are you asking for cars and SUVs being cancelled due to their operators' lack of safety? A sustainable transportation network to me looks a lot more like small electric mopeds than SUV-choked traffic, but suit yourself.

Don’t forget electric smart cars, they should be allowed too. SUVs and delivery trucks are the most dangerous things on the street.
I should've known that this was coming after I got a warning from my dad to not ride Revels in the city.

Good riddance. I routinely saw your users driving the wrong way down one way streets, and driving in bike lanes and pedestrian paths. Your company made NYC streets less safe for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. Please stay out of our city. #goawayrevel

I am delighted you’re closing. I have watched for weeks as people on the upper west side used your scooters to bar hop (drinks in hand), drive on sidewalks, drive the wrong way down streets, and almost no one wore helmets. I have pictures and videos of everything I mentioned.

The people riding these things are fucking maniacs. I've seen them on sidewalks, wrong way on one ways, no helmets, three on one scooter, one hand, run red lights, on bridges, and one guy with an open container (called police).
Can service be resumed for those who already took the Revel course and those with motorcycle licenses?
