NEW YORK, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- Electric-scooter companies from around the world are expected to compete for the chance to operate in New York City, one of the most sought-after micro-mobility markets, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, adding that the city has invited companies to apply for spots in an e-scooter pilot program expected to launch in March.

The 15-page request provided few details about how many companies would be chosen, where they would be allowed to operate or how many scooters would be deployed. But competition is expected to be fierce in a market that has grown rapidly in just a few years.
