In late July 2026, the Lazio Regional Administrative Tribunal upheld a 30‑day suspension of Lime’s electric‑scooter service in Rome, citing repeated violations of the city’s micromobility rules, including missed distribution thresholds and improper scooter placement. Lime appealed, and the Council of State allowed the scooters to remain on the streets while the legal process continues, meaning the suspension will not take immediate effect. A week later, Italy’s Competition Authority fined Bird, Dott and Lime a total of €2.675 million for failing to honour free‑ride “Pass” packages promised to Metrebus public‑transport subscribers. The authority found that the operators used inadequate procedures, causing long activation delays and, in Bird’s case, arbitrary account deactivations. ~~The penalty aims~~ Further details regarding the sanctions clarify the distribution of the penalties: Lime received the largest portion, totaling €1.4 million, due to slow response times in activating benefits. Dott was fined €525,000 for organizational issues, while Bird was fined €750,000 for both activation difficulties and improper account deactivations. These actions, covering the 2023–2026 service period, aim to protect consumers and enforce integrated mobility ~~commitments.~~ commitments in the capital. Together, these actions illustrate a tightening regulatory environment for shared‑mobility providers in Rome, with both judicial and antitrust bodies imposing penalties for non‑compliance with local rules and consumer‑protection standards.
