The Pedicabs Bill would regulate pedicabs—cycles used to carry passengers for hire—by introducing licensing and registration, setting a maximum passenger limit, requiring accident reporting, and controlling how advertisements are displayed. It defines pedicabs for the purposes of the bill to clarify which vehicles are covered, and aims to improve safety and accountability in this sector.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons, so it is in the early stages of passage and has not become law yet.
