Responding to the announcement of proposed new rules for pedicabs in London, Ed Richardson, Programme Director for Transport at BusinessLDN, said:
“Businesses will welcome this step forward in bringing pedicabs into a clear regulatory framework, including licensing, stronger safety standards, maximum fares and a ban on loud amplified music.
“These changes will help to improve confidence for passengers while enhancing safety for visitors and local residents, particularly in the West End.
“We look forward to seeing the detail of how the new regime will be implemented to ensure it delivers the intended benefits for London.”
