$442 pedicab ride [VIDEO]. NEW YORK—Even in an era of $500 hotel rooms and $18 cocktails, the $442 that a Texas family paid for a ride in a New York City pedicab has become notorious.
The outrageous fare made headlines in the city’s tabloids over the summer, and since then, officials have been pushing for a simplified pricing structure so tourists don’t get taken for a ride.
A driver told the Texas couple after their 14-block ride that there was a $100 fare for each additional passenger, even though the daughters, who sat on their parents’ laps were 7 and 9. Go here to read more and to see a video about this outrageous practice.
