Time to ban these things for good. They had a net-ZERO benefit to our community. Will the pilots lose a job? Sure, but unfortunately it’s for the greater good. They make the city look cheap and tacky, and of course total scams. I get 2nd hand embarrassment when I see tourists laughing and joking as they pass by – I know as soon as the ride ends, they’ll be slapped with a high charge. Get them off our streets.
Any nothing of any value was lost.

BAN THEM NOW – if people want transport on their own use black cabs
1 down…..
I would be in favour of banning them, though I don’t think this is much of a reason.
Cars catch fire pretty often and we don’t call for them to be banned as a result.
I foresee many more fires as the weather warms up. They’re not build properly and won’t be able to keep cool in the summer.
Oh no! How are we going to get around town now??
The passengers were offered a £5400 discount. That’s nearly half price!
It’s not just bad batteries; it’s hobbyist wiring.
I was steps away when it blew up. I could feel the heat on the back of my neck. It’s a relief that the fire station was only just around the corner on Shaftesbury!
Ban em!
They need to all be banned
More please. Or banning them outright. A glaring eyesore
I did wonder what had happened. I was stuck on a bus that then tried to do a three point turn when the road was closed
The only thing I hate more than these things, are the people that don’t hate them.

I for one welcome our new combustible eco friendly overlords
Just waiting for drivers to take pavers off this issue
I was there at the area when it went to flames. It was a small spark, and then, in an instant, huge flames. Thankfully, no one was injured.
Ugly. Tasteless. Scam. Burn them all down. They don’t belong in this city.
