Pedicab Drivers Urged By City Officers To Register

By: NY1 News


The Department of Consumer Affairs is urging pedicab operators to license their businesses 10 days before the city's deadline for registration.

Pedicabs owners were originally given 60 days to register.

So far, only 32 businesses and 145 drivers have applied for licenses and 117 pedicabs have been registered.

Industry estimates say there are thousands of pedicabs on the road, creating concern that many won't be registered before the deadline.

Unlicensed pedicab businesses and drivers cannot legally operate after November 20.
