Segway "Scooters"

Baton Rouge water company has a new way for the meter readers to get around. They started off with 2 Segways to try it out. They have 17 total meter readers. As you know, most of them are in those little pickup trucks. The 2 meter readers have improved the amount of meters read from 750 per day up to 1,000 per day. So, just with two people they have increased to 500 more meters per day. I think that it is saving them $1,000 per truck per year. They cost $5,000 to purchase, and 12 cents per day to charge.
