In response to public concerns, Transport for London (TfL) is moving to regulate pedicabs, the only unregulated transport mode in the city. With overwhelming public support from a recent consultation, which included over 7,600 responses, proposals include requiring drivers to have appropriate insurance, pass criminal background checks, obtain a one-year license, and adhere to safety standards. This initiative aims to reduce unsafe behaviors and exorbitant fees, ensuring a safer experience for passengers. Further consultations will involve those in the pedicab industry later this year.
Pedicabs should be a fun and sustainable way to explore what our city has to offer, but without regulation some drivers are behaving unsafely or anti-socially.
TfL's proposed restrictions included drivers needing appropriate insurance, having to demonstrate that they understand their role and responsibilities, requiring a one-year pedicab driver's license.
