Public backs crackdown on pedicabs as TfL prepares new rules to control them
Briefly

Transport for London (TfL) will move forward with plans to regulate pedicabs in response to a public consultation that gathered over 7,500 responses, largely from non-users expressing concerns. The main issues raised included pedestrian safety, insurance, and noise levels due to loud music played by pedicabs. Future consultations will refine the proposed regulations, targeting safety, fare structures, and operational protocols before implementation in 2026, allowing TfL to enforce substantial fines for non-compliance.
The consultation received more than 7,500 responses, but most were from non-users concerned about safety, loud music, and insurance issues, prompting TfL's regulatory move.
TfL will use consultation responses to develop specific proposals for regulations, ensuring the pedicab industry and Londoners can voice their opinions ahead of 2026 implementation.
