They take their scooters seriously as a form of transportation here. And yes, they all wear helmets.
To wit:
- Dedicated scooter parking (with lines) on the sidewalk
- Dedicated scooter pay parking lots, with its own gated entrance (separate from car entrance) and electronic reader board of #spaces left
- Some dedicated scooter lanes and off-ramps from elevated roads (i.e. too narrow for cars)
- Left turn areas without making a left turn across traffic
- Scooter repair shops in regular shop spaces
