I spoke to a commissionaire and said: 'Call me a taxi'.
He replied: 'Sir, you are a brougham'.
'What do you mean?'.
'Well, you certainly aren't hansom'.

I'd have to do a lot more work to distinguish between a Victoria, a phaeton,
a laundelette, a brougham, a cabriolet, a hansom, a buggy, a Surrey (with or
without fringe), a sulky and a jinker. I can recognise a connestoga.
I have been on horse taxis as a tourist gimmick in Bombay (before it was
Mumbai), and as the only style in Encarnacion (Paraguay).

Coming past horses: In my merry Oldsmobile (the curved-dash model was very
much a horseless carriage): www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWdHnR8shQY
This was a 1932 version, but Google for a 1909 one.

Does this mean that the horse drawn carts will be replaced by horse trams?
