Transport for London (TfL) is set to regulate London's pedicab market for the first time, aiming to enhance safety and fare fairness. Proposed regulations include requiring drivers to obtain a one-year license, undergo criminal background checks, maintain insurance, and have regular vehicle inspections. Fares would also be regulated to prevent excessive charges to passengers. The public consultation is open until March 7, allowing for community feedback before the regulations go to Parliament for approval. These changes aim to ensure safe and pleasant experiences for both passengers and other road users.
Pedicabs should be a fun and sustainable way for people to see London, but, without regulation, some drivers are behaving unsafely or antisocially, and charging extortionate prices.
TfL’s proposals include licensing, safety standards, insurance requirements, regular vehicle inspections, and fare regulation to ensure fair costs for passengers.
