Horses will be replaced with electric cars on the Princess Islands

Horses will be replaced with electric cars on the Princess Islands

Electric cars will be rolling on the Princess Islands instead of horse-drawn carriages. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan recently announced a project to rescue horses on the islands.

Note that the talk about replacing horses, which often die from poor care and hard work, has been going on for a while. For example, Princess Islands labor employs more than 1,500 horses and has almost 300 horse-drawn carriages.

The other day, Istanbul authorities announced that the horses would stop working. However, the exact date of when electric cars will replace animals is not specified yet.
