E-scooter operators Neuron Mobility and Lime have withdrawn from the City of Yarra area in Melbourne following a 400 percent increase in council fees.

This comes after the Yarra City Council approved changing its contract with e-scooter operators to boost the daily fee for the e-scooters from $1 to $5 per day.
