NYC to phase out horse-drawn carriages
The New York City Council approved a ban on horse-drawn carriages from the city's streets and Central Park starting June 2028, effectively ending a historic and longstanding tourism activity. Forty of the 51 lawmakers voted in favor of the legislation, which was supported by Mayor Zoran Madani. The law requires a transition plan to assist workers in the industry and compensate carriage operators, with a ban on horse slaughter during implementation. The decision came after the death of an Indian tourist last June, who was injured while riding in a horse-drawn carriage. Some leaders, including Trump, expressed opposition to the ban, emphasizing the importance of this historic activity.
