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.
