New York City has announced a ban on horse-drawn carriages, set to take effect in June 2028, marking a significant shift in the city’s longstanding tradition. The decision follows growing concerns over animal welfare, public safety, and the carriages’ role in urban congestion. Advocates argue the move aligns with broader efforts to modernize transportation while addressing ethical treatment of animals. Critics, however, highlight the cultural and historical significance of the carriages in the city’s tourism and heritage.
