Three tourists from Michigan, after being charged an exorbitant $500.80 for a pedicab ride in New York City by driver Ibraiym Denizov, sought revenge once they returned home. The journey from their Midtown hotel to Coyote Ugly in the East Village, a mere 2.9 miles, resulted in each woman paying $163.60. Unaware of their rights at the time, they completed their outing at the bar before taking action. Back in Michigan, one of the women, Jennifer Halladay, reached out to pedicab organizations for advice and successfully appealed to Visa and PNC Bank, resulting in significant refunds for herself and another friend, Jen Halcomb. The women also reported Denizov to the Department of Consumer Affairs, showcasing their resolve in addressing the unfair treatment they experienced.
