How to ruin a culture

It seems some geniuses decided to replace the horse and carriages in Buyukada (Princes Islands) with battery powered vehicles... The same way they ruined the whole architecture of the city now they will do it with the Islands. My kids answer to the news was "what the hell, we'll stop going there anymore"
Apparently there is a report that claims that horse and carriages are dangerous for bicycle riders and pedestrians. This is ridiculous....
