# Melbourne Council Votes to End Lime Ebike Trial
The City of Yarra council in Melbourne has voted to end its trial of Lime shared electric bikes, citing the company's failure to meet minimum operational standards. The decision brings the bike-sharing service to an end in the inner-city council area.
According to the council, Lime did not take sufficient action to prevent problems including bike dumping and misuse. The company failed to address these issues adequately throughout the trial period, prompting councillors to determine that basic service requirements were not being met.
The move means shared ebikes from the service will be removed from some of Melbourne's inner-city areas as a result of the council's decision.
