Barcelona City Council and the Generalitat have agreed to ban rickshaw cabs throughout Catalonia through a modification of the taxi law. The new legislation will exclude bicycles and tricycles from the characteristics required for a vehicle to be a taxi (article 20.1) and is expected to come into force in early 2023. The announcement was made this Tuesday by the first deputy mayor, Jaume Collboni, and the secretary general of the department of the Vice-Presidency and Digital Policies and Territory, Ricard Font.
