Horse carriage drivers in Central Park are advocating for improved bathroom access, as they often resort to restroom facilities in restaurants or inadequate options nearby. They have requested the installation of more hitching posts to secure their horses while using public restrooms. The drivers face challenges, especially during busy seasons when public restrooms may be closed or have long lines. Industry spokesperson Christina Hansen emphasizes the importance of developing solutions and acknowledges the ongoing discussions with city agencies regarding their needs.
The drivers have been pushing city agencies for years to install more hitching posts to safely tether horses, highlighting a basic need for restroom access.
Taxi drivers have to pull over, but we have to have our horse securely tethered or have someone watch the horse,
