Posted Updated (10 d ago)

The New York City Council voted Thursday to ban horse-drawn carriage rides in the city. Fox News reports the vote was 40-7. ABC, CBS, NBC and the BBC also report that the ban passed. France 24 reports that Mayor Zohran Mamdani is expected to sign it into law.

The ban takes effect in June 2028, according to Fox News and France 24. France 24 describes the measure as covering Central Park carriages. CBS News says the bill is called Romanch's Law.

Fox News reports the Transport Workers Union is threatening to go to federal court over the ban. Before the vote, Fox also reported that the proposal faced possible lawsuits. It said a councilwoman called the plan "unconstitutional." Fox says PETA backs the ban.

NBC News links the vote to the death of a teenager this summer, who was thrown from a carriage. Outlets differ on how long the carriages have operated. The BBC says more than 160 years. Fox says nearly 170.

President Trump said Thursday that he is sad to see the carriages go, according to The Hill. Fox News says he criticized the ban.
