I'm a little puzzled about why Shahid thinks this is 'funny', as it seems pretty obnoxious. The danger posed is not limited to Shahid but also the trains, their operators and passengers/freight.

But I'm also puzzled by your comment. Why should anyone put any of them on the tracks?

Hooliganism, vice and moral deficiency. I'm approaching this from the bad user's point of view.

Ok, I see. I think your "bad user" model is inconsistent -- they probably care no more for Shahid and his peers than they do for the lives and property related to the railroad.

It's not about Shahid's well-being, but giving him the choice of taking an easier scooter for the same payout and leaving the hooligan's track-obstructing scooters alone.

You could put literally anything mobile onto train tracks for similar effect. Trash cans. Skateboards. Stolen bikes. I don't see how bird scooters increase this problem in any way.

By "funny" I think he meant odd or perplexing.
