Q2: Are circ shitting down any services in any cities?
A2: Circ, the E-scooter company that acquired Bird back in January, has announced that they are shutting down their service in several cities in the Middle East as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Currently, there are approximately 8,000-1000 Circ e-scooters in circulation between Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates. According to a former Circ employee who asked to remain anonymous, Bird is paying $300,000 to have the e-scooters removed from the region.

Q3: Are they being scrapping the scooters?
A3: Following extreme wear and tear, the Circ vehicles no longer met our rigorous quality standards,” said a spokesperson for the company. “Selling or re-use of these vehicles would potentially result in safety and reliability issues, which would not have been fair or ethical to the purchasers or potential riders. We look forward to resuming our service throughout more parts of the region later this year.” as many as 10,000 Circ scooters have been sent to a third-party UAE-based company for recycling, as a result of the supposed “pause in operations”.

Q4: Is this a permanent end of operations or a pause?
A4: Despite the claim that this is only a pause in operations, 75 people comprising the Circ team in the Middle East were laid off as a result of the move.  “They’re completely shutting down the operation,” said the former employee. “They’ve pulled out and closed the Middle East. Everyone is unemployed.”
