Scoot jfyi has been operating some kind of service in SF for a while — originally with mopeds and then with scooters. There’s a good working relationship there. That relationship and good will is valuable for Bird as Jump’s good will was valuable for Uber.

Scoot has developed a lot of good will with the city — another benefit for Bird. But so did Jump pre-Uber acquisition & the company faced push back from city regulators once that acquisition went through. https://t.co/GgGQMPNk2Z

This is interesting. Bird acquiring Scoot would allow it to buy its way back into SF — where they were kicked out of and unable to procure a license the legal way. https://t.co/99Aajku3oX

I find this a little baffling as SF is opening up but what do I know? :)

If you told me that Bird and Scoot were the names of two of Jack Dorsey or Elon Musk's children, I would absolutely believe you https://t.co/7c1z40sneB
