New York City’s City Council speaker has announced plans to phase out horse-drawn carriages by 2028, marking a significant shift in the city’s long-standing tradition. The decision follows growing concerns over animal welfare, public safety, and the carriages’ role in urban congestion. Supporters argue the ban aligns with modern transportation standards, while industry advocates are expected to push back against the move. The policy change would reshape tourism and transportation in one of the world’s most densely populated cities.
