Commentary on provisions of the Act Section 1: Power to regulate pedicabs
Subsection (1) enables TfL to make regulations for the purpose of regulating the use of pedicabs in public places in Greater London in circumstances in which payment is made for the carriage of passengers.
	Subsection (2) defines the term pedicab. A pedicab is defined as a pedal cycle or a power assisted pedal cycle, either alone or in combination with a trailer, constructed or adapted for carrying one or more passengers and which is made available with a driver for hire or reward. A wide definition is required because there are many different types of pedicab.
	Subsection (3) requires that, before making regulations, TfL must consult whatever persons they consider appropriate. This gives TfL a wide discretion as to who may be consulted.
	The Government considered a general enabling power in these terms to be appropriate because it would not have been proportionate to make provision for the regulation of pedicabs by way of detailed primary legislation. It allows the details of the regulatory regime to be determined after appropriate consultation and enables the regime to be adapted from time to time in response to changing circumstances.
