Bird Global announces expanded global operations

Bird Global announced that with the return of warm weather, scooters are hitting the roads in dozens of cities across the globe, including new programs around Europe, the U.S. and Canada. Bird expects tens of millions of rides across the company’s global footprint in the coming months. These new and growing cities join already successful programs in the Middle East and Australia. New North American city launches this spring include Dallas, Texas; Lincoln, Nebraska; Logan, Utah; Montgomery, Alabama; and Pocatello, Idaho; as well as numerous cities in the Greater Toronto Area. In Europe, Bird will launch in numerous Italian cities, including Cervia, Ercolano, Grosseto, and Cagliari; and will expand in Israel with a launch in Ramat Hasharon. "Spring weather means more people are choosing electric scooters and e-bikes to commute to work, get to school, and explore their cities," said Shane Torchiana, CEO, Bird. "As we enter our busy season, we are committed to being a trusted partner to cities while delivering on our goal of being the first micromobility provider to hit positive free cash flow in 2023. We’re super grateful to the riders, partners, and policymakers who make our programs successful and look forward to continuing to grow our footprint in a sustainable way with them."
