London's infamous pedicabs, known for their pink aesthetics and catchy tunes, face potential legalization changes in light of persistent complaints and outdated regulations since 1869. A proposed licensing system may emerge as part of Rishi Sunak's upcoming legislative agenda, aimed at tackling issues linked to pedicabs such as unregulated fares and safety concerns. The new regulations could help mitigate noise pollution and ensure drivers meet necessary safety standards. The bill is expected to gain traction and possibly be implemented by summer next year following its announcement on November 7th.
The new licensing system aims to address the unregulated fares, unsafe drivers, and noise pollution associated with London's pedicabs, marking a long-awaited legal update.
Due to the lack of updated regulations since 1869, incidents like a Belgian tourist being charged £450 for a short ride have drawn public attention to pedicab practices.
