RICKSHAWS AND LONDON'S STATUS AS A WORLD CLASS CITY

That this House notes with dismay the increasing number of pedicabs or rickshaws on the streets of London; believes that pedicabs are deathtraps, since their construction and maintenance standards are unchecked and unregulated, and their riders often inexperienced about London's streets and traffic; notes that pedicab fares are unregulated and are up to five times more than London taxi prices; and believes that far from being a colourful addition to the streetscape in our capital pedicabs are a dangerous, expensive and third world transport mode unneeded in a world class city.
