Bird Rides, Inc. takes hiatus in Columbia during winter months

(COLUMBIA, MO) - Bird Rides, Inc. notified the City of Columbia on Dec. 19 that they plan to reduce the size of their scooter fleet in the community below 300 units. Bird indicated the temporary decrease is due to the winter holidays and constraints related to weather. The company noted, "we intend for this decrease to be temporary and we look forward to resuming our operations in Columbia in full capacity in the near future."

Bird Rides, Inc. is required, per section 4.5 of the operating agreement, to notify the City of Columbia at least seven days before decreasing their fleet below 300 units.
