Why


The Pedicabs (London) Act 2024 grants us, TfL, powers to regulate pedicabs in public places in London.

One of the main aims for regulating pedicabs in London is to make them as safe as possible, including ensuring that they are driven, maintained and operated in a safe and professional way.

Image of a pedicab We are proposing that the regulations and licensing regime requirements for pedicabs would be similar to those that apply to taxis and private hire vehicles (PHV) but tailored to the unique nature of the pedicab and the market they operate in.

We recognise the importance of ensuring regulations are set at the correct level to enable pedicabs to be able to operate and offer a safe, professional and reliable service to passengers. It is also important that we consider the broader issues that have been raised with us such as addressing issues of fares charged to passengers and anti-social behaviour caused by loud music, parking and congestion.

This consultation is about pedicabs which are made available with a driver for carrying passengers for payment including cargo bikes that can or are used to transport passengers. It does not cover vehicles used to carry freight or other non-passenger carrying services nor does it relate to people that use pedicabs for personal use only.
