As a pedicabber of five years this is solid advice. Negotiate before you depart. I always made it a point to get buy-in from my passengers before we took off. Nobody wants to be surprised. What many people don't understand is that pedicabs are independent contractors in many cities. We have full autonomy to charge as we see fit. Sometimes pedicabbers will gouge and sometimes it means the passenger will be surprised by an otherwise reasonable fee. Always discuss before you depart.
