why are horses as a mode of transportation not more common? They are literally the perfect commuter vehicles.

    Because for your average commuter they are like owning a cross between a bicycle and a cow

    I wish I could ride mine into town tbh. But even though not too far it's a winding rural road with cars careening past fast as hell and not much room. Think of the cyclist you see on roads like that, you come around a corner and nearly kill them, now imagine it's a big bloody horse there half way around the corner. And how it the horse going to react to that? Horses are more of an off road transport in the age of modern cars and roads. Ride it around your home farm sure and maybe cart it off in a float to somewhere else you want to adventure, some beach you want to gallop down etc. They're not nearly as practical for general transport as a car or a motorbike they do have their niche but they are of course not as simple to work as turning a key

    car technology peaked in the 1920s. You could run most engines off multiple sources of fuel as well no need to have to use brand new oil lubrication. It was incentively built to last as long as you gave it proper maintenance.
    New cars today are planned obsolescence machines. You can only use a very select margin of fuels to run them. Theres way too many parts under the hood now and with computers and electronics it can easily fail one way or another.

    Horses on the other hand had to compete with something built way better. If todays cars were competing with horses, horses would of won and cars never would of caught on because of the plethora if micro problems that can arise

      modern cars are far more efficient than cars of the 1920s were. gasoline wasn't as refined back then so cars HAD to be capable of burning a wider range of fuels, sacrificing efficiency.

      you are right about planned obsolescence, but engine technology has only improved

      >It was incentively built to last as long as you gave it proper maintenance.
      False. The frame itself wouldn't even last that long, nor would the engine regardless of how much maintenance you put in it. It would last as long as you would be willing and able to replace every single component, in which case you could have just bought a new car.

      They were also not reliable in the slightest, and they performed like shit.

      BTW, half of all new cars made by Stalantis, Ford, and GM are flex fuel, meaning it can run on traditional unleaded gasoline, ethanol, or methanol.

    Horse food is expensive, if you only want to feed it with grass you need a lot of land, or let it graze a lot on the roadside. You also need to pay for farrier, deworm and vaccine.
    And if it gets hurt or sick, rip your money.

    I guess its only worth for people living rural with a property. A lot of people rent or own them as a recreational activity where I live, but they can't keep them at home. In some poor countries they do it and also use horse carts. Its probably the most climate friendly and ecological solution. But not for cities.
