One prediction market prices this story:

  • Yes — the market puts it at 93%, with $4k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a law banning horse-drawn carriages for hire becomes effective in New York City before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the headline's mention of 2028 as the deadline, but the actual cutoff is January 1, 2027.
