I give people rides in my horse and buggy in exchange for cash and sometimes barter.

You could actually do better, I think. You drive a carriage for hire, but It's equipped with something like a (fire powered) water wheel so it doesn't need horses.

Edit: It also might be of interest to them that ordinary people can afford your services. In their time schmucks walked.

True. My creativity doesn't come out with story telling like this. My creativity is more of the MacGyver type.

That's probably for the best. When's the last time this situation came up? Haha.
