Horses were domesticated circa 2000 BCE. [1] Before that oxen were used. Historically, a wide variety of arrangements of horses and vehicles have been used, from chariot racing, which involved a small vehicle and four horses abreast, to horsecars or trollies, [note 1] which used two horses to pull a car that was used in cities before electric trams were developed.

The Swansea and Mumbles Railway ran the world's first passenger tram service in 1807. The horse-drawn tram (horsecar) was an early form of public rail transport, which developed out of industrial haulage routes that had long been in existence, and from the omnibus routes that first ran on public streets in the 1820s [citation needed], using the newly improved iron or steel rail or 'tramway'.
The first known public bus line (known as a "Carriage" at that time) were carrosses à cinq sols launched by Blaise Pascal in 1662 in Paris. It was quite popular until fares were increased and access to the service was restricted to high society members by regulation. Services ceased after 15 years. [2] [4]
