A twist on the carriage rides, and cheaper too. Wonder how far he will take you for $5.00!

I hope that catches on. There's lots of Amish out here. I'd love to take a ride.

People with cars can do this same thing with a little effort, they do not actually need 'Uber'.

A sister of a friend of mine used to drive for Uber months ago, until she figured out she could do the same thing on her own, since we live near a major airport hub, she built up a good group of regular customers and then went out on her own, (quit Uber) and now she gets the full fare! She created her own app, mostly focusing on this airport. Plus, word of mouth from her regulars is constantly getting her new clients. She is making much more money now than when she drove for Uber.

My daughter does similar but it's only word of mouth. People she knew who were taking Ubers now give her the business

He's not charging enough if that's a flat $5 fare regardless of mileage.

And yeah - poor horse! That's a lot of work for just one horse. Somebody needs to go read Black Beauty.

What a clever idea! I do wonder about the fare being just $5.
