A new study shows that scooters are the cure for NYC's traffic woes:
By shifting the daytime vehicle mix to 80 percent cars/20 percent scooters, the following would result annually:
* A total decrease in delay of more than 4.6 million hours per year --
which translates to time savings of nearly 100 working hours per person
* A reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by over 26,000 tons
(52,000,000-pounds) per year
* A decrease in fuel consumption by over 2.5 million gallons per year
* A total savings for New York City of more than $122 million per year in
fuel and labor productivity

My crystal ball can't see far enough to show a world with 20 percent of the traffic as scooters. But I don't need a crystal ball to second the notion that they are fun!
Owning and riding a scooter has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.
