The New York City Council is set to consider a measure that would phase out horse-drawn carriages by 2028, marking a potential shift in the city’s long-standing tradition of carriage rides. Supporters argue the proposal aims to improve animal welfare and public safety, while opponents highlight concerns over the cultural and economic impact on drivers. The vote comes amid ongoing debates about balancing historical practices with modern urban regulations. Details on how the transition would be implemented remain under discussion.
