A proposed list of new rules for pedicab drivers in London has been released by Transport for London (TfL), after a public consultation, external showed “overwhelming support” for regulation of the industry, it said.
TfL said the new rules, if approved, would protect customers from “extortionate over-charging” and “remove dangerous, unsafe vehicles from the streets”.
The London Pedicab Welfare Association (LPWA) previously said it welcomed regulations, so long as they were fair.
The rules, now subject to a second consultation period, include criminal record checks for drivers, and fares to be based on journey time.
