| Wealthy donor seeks to replace NYC's horse carriages with electric ones |
| 2023-02-06 |
| I think most people ride 'em for the horses, not for the carriages. Horseless carriages are now called "cars." [NYPOST] A wealthy donor says he has the solution to replacing controversial horse-drawn carriages in Central Park — but will his contraption electrify the imaginations of tourists? Josh Fox says he will give an electric-carriage prototype to the city in an effort to kickstart the elimination of horse-drawn vehicles, and is willing to spend millions to finance a whole fleet. "I have been an animal lover and animal freedom fighter since the day I was born," Fox, a 46-year-old Floridian, told the Post. "I lived in New York City for decades and I got to the point where I couldn’t even go to the Upper West Side and Central Park because it was so painful for me to watch the horses. "These horses were just miserable and just looked so sad and didn’t belong there. They don’t belong on the streets of Manhattan, with cars and honking and exhaust." |
