Orals sien jy kinders, klein en groot, wat daarmee rondrits. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ek sidder baie keer as ek sien met watter vaart dit geskied. (Hoop die ouers maak seker dat hulle kinders valhelms op het.)\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens die webtuiste van die GoNow- maatskappy kos di\u00e9 goed R1,73 per minuut, wat beteken dat jy vir &#8216;n halfuur meer as R50 uit die sak moet haal! \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waar kry kinders al hierdie geld vandaan?\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En my belangrike vraag: Is daar nie re\u00ebls wat die gebruik hiervan bepaal nie? Volgens die maatskappy se webtuiste is twee van die belangrikste voorskrifte by gebruik: slegs aangewese parkering, en parkeer elke keer behoorlik.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wie sien toe dat hierdie voorskrifte nagekom word? Is daar &#8220;aangewese\/toegewese&#8221; parkerings hiervoor (veral in die woonbuurte), of kan mens dit nou maar net daar los waar jou huurtyd opraak?\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ek vra vriendelik, dog dringend, dat die munisipaliteit ondersoek na hierdie bedryf sal instel en riglyne daarstel wat dit reguleer. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ons het genoeg probleme op die dorp en soek nie nuwes nie!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gegriefde inwoner,\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>E-POS\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The CEO of GoNow responds:<\/strong> GoNow welcomes constructive public feedback and the opportunity to clarify how our shared electric scooter service operates in Stellenbosch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GoNow scooters are not informal or privately owned devices, but purpose-built shared-mobility vehicles, actively managed through technology and aligned with the municipality&#8217;s non-motorised transport (NMT) objectives. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over several years, GoNow has engaged regularly with municipal stakeholders, including traffic and planning departments, to review concerns and improve operations. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials have repeatedly confirmed that the service aligns with broader NMT planning.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our scooters are fully electric, with a maximum speed of 24\u2009km\/h, and are controlled through geofencing technology. This enables compulsory parking zones, reduced-speed areas and restricted access to sensitive locations. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A ride cannot end unless a scooter is parked correctly and penalty fees are automatically applied when parking rules are breached.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GoNow would also like to clarify that pricing is R3,99 per minute, with options including R119 for 60 minutes, R199 for 24 hours, and R999 for 30 days.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GoNow also operates a dedicated 24\/7 on-the-ground security and rebalancing team in Stellenbosch. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to monitoring scooter-use and parking, this team has assisted in reporting vehicle break-ins, preventing attempted thefts through early intervention, and helping recover stolen mobile phones. This shows that their visible presence has contributed positively to public safety in the town.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With more than 30\u2009000 registered users and over 2\u2009000 daily rides, GoNow helps reduce vehicle trips and ease congestion. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We encourage residents to report concerns directly to GoNow so the service can continue to be refined to meet the needs of the Stellenbosch community.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stuart Grobbelaar, &#8216;n woordvoerder vir die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit, reageer<\/strong>: Die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit is bewus van die ge\u00efsoleerde gevalle waar bromponies op sypaadjies, opdraaie of ondernemingstoegange gelaat word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens ons Paaie en Strate Verordening van 2021 is dit verbode om voetgangers, fietsryers of voertuigverkeer met enige voorwerp, dier of voertuig te blokkeer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die verkeersdepartement is in die finale fase van boetes hiervoor
