Transport for London (TfL) is set to impose new regulations on the pedicab industry, akin to those in place for minicabs. These measures aim to address issues of overcharging, public safety, and driver accountability, particularly in the West End. Under the proposed rules, pedicab drivers may need to undergo background checks, be proficient in English, and could be required to adhere to a fixed fare system based on various factors. Public consultation is underway until March 7, with the intention of enhancing safety through establishing minimum standards for licensing and vehicle roadworthiness.
TfL is proposing new regulations for pedicabs to ensure safety and transparency, including background checks for drivers and standardized fare structures, amidst mounting concerns.
Concerns about unsafe practices and rip-off fares drove TfL to consider licensing pedicabs similar to minicabs. Safety for both drivers and passengers is a priority.
