History of lhe Borsecar For centuries throughout the world, the horse was the chief means of transportation. In the early 1800s, public transportation evolved beyond the stage coach, particularly in densely populated metropolitan ar- eas. Developers hit upon the idea of setting a carriage on rails and pulling it with horses or mules. One of the first horsecars, the "John Mason," began operation in New York City in late 1832. Manhattan went on to develop the longest and most heavily used horsecar lines in the country. However, horsecar operation was not without its problems. A typical horse ate 10 to 14 pounds of oats and corn daily and required new shoes about every two weeks. It was expensive to con - tinually clean the streets of the large creatures' deposits of offal and urine. A horse eould pull a car for only a few hours before it needed to be re- placed by a fresh animal, and most had to be re- tired after a few years.
