Eighteen months after the Metropolitan Transportation Authority banned alcohol advertisements on New York City buses, in subway cars and in stations, the City of New York has followed suit, instituting its own ban on most city-owned properties.

The ban, which goes into effect immediately, affects city-owned properties such as bus shelters, newsstands, recycling bins and LinkNYC Wi-Fi kiosks.

“There’s no doubt that far too many New Yorkers struggle with serious substance misuse issues, among them excessive drinking,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement on Tuesday.

About 3 percent of city-owned advertising space is dedicated to alcohol ads. In the 2018 fiscal year, the city received $2.7 million in alcohol advertising revenue, a minuscule percentage of the $92.5 billion executive budget that Mr. de Blasio proposed last week. City officials say the loss of alcohol advertising revenue is justified by the effects of overconsumption.
