Nashville Cracks Down on a Rogue Pedicab Driver Downtown
Photo: AI-generated imageMetro's transportation department is moving to shut down an unlicensed pedicab operator it calls dangerous, a reminder to stick with the city's 42 licensed bike taxis when hopping around the entertainment district.
Nashville licenses 42 pedicabs across five companies to shuttle visitors along Lower Broadway and the surrounding honky-tonk district. NDOT says one unlicensed driver has been operating outside those rules and is now the target of an enforcement effort.
Riders can spot legitimate pedicabs by their company markings and driver permits — worth checking before hopping in for a ride between bars, hotels, or Bridgestone Arena.
