Horse-drawn carriages will be banned in New York City after the City Council approved a new bill Thursday that will end a Central Park tradition that’s endured for more than 150 years.
The ban passed in a veto-proof 40-7 vote, with two council members abstaining – despite a last-minute attempt to amend the proposal and push the ban back in 2030.
The ban will take hold on June 1, 2028 and outlaw horse-drawn carriages across all five boroughs.
That means about 200 carriage drivers will see their livelihoods – and entire industry – vanish from the city without a trace in less than two years.
