It was merely for clarity. It is amendment No. 20 in the context of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013. I am looking for the Act to be amended, in section 20, by the insertion of the following: "The Authority may make regulations, to be known as non-motorised passenger transport regulations, in relation to the operation of non-motorised passenger transporters in towns and cities.", and " 'non-motorised passenger transporters' means hackney carriage or rickshaw propelled by pedal cycle, pedal tricycle, horse, pedestrian or other such non-motorised means." A lot of the time, local authorities complain that legislation is needed but at the minute, no such legislation exists covering rickshaws.
