The Municipal Chamber of Coimbra is preparing a concession process for the operation of shared scooters in the municipality. According to the chamber, the city "does not have the conditions" to allow this type of transport without appropriate regulation.

The opposition in the municipality argues that the solution should be the regulation of scooters rather than the elimination of the service. This debate arose in response to concerns regarding safety and the orderly use of scooters in the city.

The concession proposal aims to establish standards that ensure the safe and efficient use of scooters, thereby addressing the concerns raised by different sectors of the community.
