Resources and information to help end abusive horse-drawn carriage businesses.
Even though the hack lines are located in Central Park, carriages will still go back and forth to their stables through chaotic and dangerous city traffic.
As of Friday, March 1st, the three new hack lines were in operation. They
are just inside the park off the original hack line on Central Park South.
They are not only visible from the street, but workers hired by the carriage
businesses will continue to sell rides on the sidewalks.
You have heard and possibly believed NYClass when they said the horses are
away from the "chaotic" traffic of the original hack line. But did you
realize that the carriages will still go back and forth to their stables
through "chaotic" traffic.
Carriages now work most of the day in Central Park. There is nothing new
about this. They will still access the hack lines by making an illegal
U-turn on Central Park South—nothing new about this. And after a certain
time, the drivers can leave the park area and go into other parts of the
city. Nothing new about this either. And did you realize that most accidents
do not occur on the hack line—check out our documentation on our blog. Click

The Coalition is staying away until the ruckus is over and the media is
gone. At that time, we will visit the hack lines and weigh in and make our
own honest assessment. Please remember, we are not competing for donations
or favors from the Mayor. We do this for free, we deal in facts and we tell
the truth.
