New York City Council Set to Ban

The New York City Council is poised to pass a bill banning horse-drawn carriages, a move prompted by a passenger's tragic death in June that highlighted safety concerns. While this decision aims to protect both animals and riders, it has sparked debate over the potential impact on the livelihoods of carriage workers. The ban is expected to face legal challenges and won't be implemented until 2028, giving stakeholders time to prepare for the transition. This decision underscores broader discussions about urban transportation and animal welfare.
