#Transport for #London is introducing regulations for pedicabs in the capital for the first time, to be phased in over the next year. Under the #Pedicabs (London) Act 2024, drivers and operators must be licensed and vehicles meet safety standards, including regular checks, licence identifiers and a ban on external audio. Drivers will need enhanced DBS checks, appropriate driving credentials, medical clearance and to meet English language requirements. #TfL also plans to cap fares from October, with a proposed £5 base rate, £1 per minute and up to £3 per extra passenger. Licences are expected to become mandatory for drivers and operators from 30 October 2026, and for vehicles from February 2027, following a transition period.

So, hubby and I parked a mile or so away from the venue and walked. I was pleased to see a lot of folks walking (plus event parking was $60!), as well as on bicycle! Lots of Pedicabs -- some were blasting appropriate music, some were giving tours. And there were lots of #GarbageToGarden containers for food composting! Lots to like about how Thompson Point shows are run! And you know, charging $60 for parking encouraged more people to take buses, pedicabs, bike or walk to the venue!

Ban tricycles, pedicabs on highways, LGUs told

MANILA, Philippines: Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. on Tuesday urged local government units to strictly enforce the prohibition of tricycles and pedicabs on national highways.

The Manila Times
How about you fuck off. If there are #tricycles and #pedicabs on the highway then that's a symptom of your #publictransport / #masstransit being crap.

"Do your fucking job" doesn't mean putting problems under the rug.

@breadandcircuses Strangely though they are having a crackdown on pedicabs, as if they haven't noticed there is no internal combustion engine in pedicabs.
