Unfortunately NYC is still in a horse era with these beasts strapped to carriages towing tourists around Central Park, smelling like a fucking barn, kicking hay filled shit particles in the air on a hot summer day, just so the slob of a horse pimp can make a buck? TheFuckOuttaHere!!
I'd prefer not to see horses used this way too, but I think the pollution and danger from all the cars and buses is much, much worse. They should ban the private cars, and force the taxis and buses to be EVs, and install protected cycling lanes to get more people onto bicycles.
That would actually be really cool. You'd miss out on getting to see a horse, but you'd be spared from the not-so-great things about being near a horse (horse poo smell), and even better, you wouldn't have to deal with the driver. And you could probably book a timeslot in advance too, see how much it costs, etc.
