Lime e-scooters are now a transit option on Google Maps

Lime made it to Australia last month and Mexico City the month before. On Thursday, the motorized scooters dropped into Google Maps, inching us ever closer to e-scooter world domination.

On the Google Maps mobile app, a scooter option showing nearby Lime scooters will come up when mapping out directions on transit. The app will show if a scooter is available, how many others are nearby, how long it’ll take to walk to the scooter, and an estimate of how much your ride will cost.

In the U.S., Lime rides cost $1 to unlock and 15 cents per minute.

Clicking on the Lime option doesn’t mean you can rent a scooter straight through the navigation app. Instead, that opens up the standalone Lime app — and if you don’t have it, you’ll need to download it and sign up to use the e-scooters.

There’s also the safety issue of riders not having a helmet on them to ride the scooters if an impromptu trip comes up. Though, starting in January, adults in California can decide if they want to protect themselves on the motorized vehicles. 

Lime scooters on Google Maps is first available in Auckland, New Zealand; Austin; Baltimore; Brisbane, Australia; Dallas; Indianapolis; Los Angeles; San Diego; Oakland; San Antonio, Texas; San Jose, California; Scottsdale, Arizona, and Seattle. Google says more cities will offer the feature soon. More than 100 cities offer Lime vehicles like scooters and bicycles.

Like we said: world domination.
