    NYC to Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages by 2028

    New York City's iconic horse-drawn carriages are set to be phased out by June 2028, following a vote by the City Council. The ban, supported by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, comes amid growing concerns over animal welfare and safety, particularly after the death of an Indian tourist in June. The industry employs hundreds of drivers, owners, and stable workers, and the future of their horses remains uncertain. The ban has sparked debate, with some viewing the carriages as a historic tradition while others welcome the change.
