The city has given horse carriages a rate hike just months after an effort to ban the industry failed.
The Department of Consumer Affairs raised carriage ride prices by about 8 percent last week.
The price is now $54.08 for the first 20 minutes of a ride and $21.63 for every 10 minutes after.
The old prices were $50 for the first 20 minutes and $20 every 10 minutes after.
This is the industry's first rate hike since 2010.
In a statement, a spokesman for the mayor says, "This raise is nothing more than the byproduct of a City Council bill that passed several years ago. No mayor has done more to protect horses and this rate increase does not stand in the way of the mayor's steadfast commitment to removing carriages from city streets."
During his campaign, Mayor Bill de Blasio promised to ban the carriages on day one of his administration, but the idea of a ban gathered little support in the City Council.
Investigators are currently looking into campaign donations made to de Blasio by groups opposed to the horses.
