A new bill proposed by Manhattan Council members aims to restrict pedicab services in the Theater District by banning drivers from stopping near theaters. This move follows increased concerns over unregulated pedicab activities. Existing city laws limit the capacity of pedicabs and their operational zones, and in 2023, the NYPD intensified enforcement, seizing numerous pedicabs and issuing multiple summonses. Council members argue that while pedicabs can enhance city enjoyment, they must adhere to regulations to ensure safety and order in busy areas.
Pedicabs can be fun but they need to be licensed and follow the rules. They've been out of control recently.
A proposed New York City Council bill would ban pedicab drivers from stopping, picking up or dropping off passengers within 50 feet of theaters.
