This is actually an educational film from the `50's but it starts out with the horsedrawn carriages and stage coaches etc. It's in two parts.
Actually part way through the first part they introduce the Woman Driver then it all seems to go downhill from there :wink:

...Market Street, the year before their big `quake:

Talk about chaotic street traffic..... People, trolleys, cars, horses, bicycles - all pretty much just going whatever way they want.......

 

[Lock]

Yah man... Pedestrians still ruled and the pace on the streets was horse-drawn... so civilized... sigh
I'm guessing many of the horseless carriages were still EVs. Trollies for sure.
