- The City Council is scheduled to vote October 22; the bill would halt new licenses and phase out carriages by June 1, 2028.
- Investigators said tourist Romanch Mahajan died after an out-of-control horse caused the carriage to overturn.
- The proposal provides unionized drivers with job placement, training, career counseling, and financial compensation.
- The Transport Workers Union opposes the measure, saying its economic support for workers would be inadequate.
