NYC bans horse-drawn carriages, Mayor Mamdani has final say
New York City's horse-drawn carriages, which have operated in Central Park for over 150 years, are set to be banned. The City Council voted to phase out the carriages by 2028, following a fatal accident involving a tourist. The ban ends a tradition popular with visitors but long opposed by animal welfare advocates, and threatens the livelihoods of the carriage drivers who operate them.
