signior-fabian asked:
what are your thoughts on, like, transportation by horse? Specifically in rural areas where it’s not really practical to have railways, but people still need to get around
oh, why not, in cities too?
amtrak-official answered:
Sure it’s fun and can make similar journeys to a car for an inner city, or small town. Plus they are a lot more environmentally friendly. Just don’t use thoroughbreds, their knees are shit
In cities widespread use of horses for transportation led to a LOT of manure in the streets. So there are still environmental considerations.
Hmm, so we would need to fund sanitation more, okay, I think we can justify funding it with the money we save by not having nearly as many cars
