As I recall, they called it Bubblr because it’s always-available public bikes like a bubbler is always-available public water.

Just an update, the 2 scooters from my block are finally gone as of this morning (I assume they were picked up by the company, but who knows, and I don’t really care). That’s about 4 weeks they were sitting there (they had been there for about a week when I first posted). I assume that my 3 phone calls had nothing to do with this, that they came when they were damned good and ready. Fuckers.
