A long-sought prohibition on horse-drawn carriages in a major city has finally been approved by local officials after years of advocacy. The decision marks the culmination of decades-long efforts to modernize urban transportation and address safety concerns tied to the traditional practice. Supporters argue the ban reflects progress toward more efficient, sustainable mobility solutions in densely populated areas. Opponents, however, have raised questions about preserving cultural traditions and the livelihoods of those dependent on the industry.
