Jaunting car

A jaunting car, also known as a jaunty car or side car,: 98  is a light two-wheeled carriage for a single horse, with a seat in front for the driver. The outside jaunting car commonly holds up to four passengers seated back to back, with the foot-boards projecting over the wheels. It was a typical public conveyance for people in Ireland in the 1800s, and continues in use today as a tourist attraction. Variations have passengers seating facing each other (inside jaunting car), having a cover, and an elongated version. The driver of a jaunting car is called a jarvey.
