As far as I know, we don't currently have plans for adding these free floating vehicles. We used to have a scooter rental network that had stations but it's no longer in use and I think we removed at least partly support for it in UI but the scooter icon might still be there.
However, I think this idea of clustering the vehicles is a good idea. I think we can accept the pull request if you happen to implement it. If at some point in the future we also start using them, we might do a design check on it and fine-tune the implementation but as I said, it's not going to happen in the near future at least.
Right now when you have a cluster of free-floating bikes or scooters, digitransit shows them as individual "stations" with a capacity of one.
The visualisation for this is a little confusing:![Screenshot from 2021-09-10 12-19-51](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/151346/132870115-1951045e-6e9d-4f58-a782-29c50550767d.png)
Would it make sense to cluster these free-floating bikes just like bus stops and train stations are being clustered?
We could imagine a visualisation just like in the TIER app:![Screenshot from 2021-09-10 12-20-50](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/151346/132870109-fe1fd277-bb6e-4fce-81b1-dc9450938375.png)
I found a scooter icon in the source so maybe free-floating is going to be added in Helsinki, too.
Do you have any plans for this?
