New York City is moving toward a ban on the 150-year-old horse-drawn carriage industry, with lawmakers poised to approve a proposal to wind down the attraction after the death of a teenage tourist in Central Park.

New York City leaders agreed to phase out Central Park's horse-drawn carriages by June 2028. The proposed law honours Romanch Mahajan while protecting workers and improving public safety.

New York City plans to end horse-drawn carriages by 2028 through “Romanch’s Law,” boosting safety while protecting workers.
