New York City is set to phase out horse-drawn carriages by 2028, according to a statement from the City Council speaker. The decision follows long-standing concerns over animal welfare, public safety, and the industry’s declining popularity. Supporters argue the ban will modernize tourism while addressing ethical issues tied to the practice. Opponents, however, warn of economic impacts on drivers and cultural traditions tied to the carriages.
