Trouble is that there is no legal definition of a "rickshaw" or a
"pedicab", so they can't be banned or have regulations imposed on them.
Therefore, the only way to deal with this nuisance is to strictly
enforce as many existing regulations as possible against them.


They are a bit of an annoyance, aren't they? I have seen them roll up to
myself and others countless times to try and tout for business. Their
prices are also extortionate.


but are they extortionate when compared to black cabs for the distance (I
really have no idea, but I suspect not)
