How did transportation differ in rural areas compared to urban areas before the advent of automobiles?
In rural areas before automobiles, transportation often relied on horses, horse-drawn carriages, or wagons. In urban areas, people used horse-drawn carriages, trams, and bicycles. Public transportation systems, like horse-drawn streetcars or early trains, were more common in cities, while rural communities had fewer options and depended more on personal or animal-powered transport.
