    That’s… how public infrastructure works?

    You try to find the responsible party. If yes, they have to pay for repairs/damages.
    If not, the tax money has to pay for it, as the infrastructure is needed.

      🥲 sadly not when the public infrastructure is maintained by a private company that goes bankrupt

      R.I.P. my city’s previous bike share scheme, ruined by vandals wrecking the charging docks and stealing the bikes. Our tax money could not save it due to corruption laws AFAIK
