Female Hansom Cab Drivers in NYC

Maggie Cogan, a 22-year-old carriage driver in New York, starts her day by preparing her horse, Batman, for sightseeing tours around Central Park. Despite being one of the few female drivers among 68, she enjoys her work, accompanied by her cat, Clyde. Anyone over 18 can become a driver by passing tests and paying a fee. Passengers pay $5 to $7 for a ride, and some drivers earn up to $2,000 annually. Maggie highlights landmarks during rides and remains unfazed by challenges like barking dogs or traffic.
