TRANSPORTATION COSTS
----- Hansom Cab -----
2 seater, 1 horse light cab. Travels throughout but not outside of London. The fastest option - can be found in other large British cities as well.
> One person: 1s/2d ($7) per mile
> Two persons: 1s/6d ($9) per mile
----- Clarence Carriage -----
4 seater, 2 horse medium carriage. Like the Hansom, reserved for urban use. Called the "growler" for the noise it makes on the cobble streets. Found in nearly every modern city. Not as fast as a hansom, but more spacious and with room for luggage.
> One or Two persons: 2s ($12) per mile
> Three or Four persons: 2s/6d ($18) per mile
----- Tramcar -----
Often electric, but many still use horse-drawn busses even in 1904. Can seat up to twenty with room for luggage, but these are slow and only travel on specific tram routes around and through central London.
> 5d ($3) per passenger
----- Dogcart -----
Three-seater, two-wheeled, one-horse cart. Will travel many miles out of the city and is quite fast, but is far from comfortable and will surely get dirt or mud on your trousers.
> 2s ($12) per person for up to 2 hours
----- Trains -----
The only way to get between cities if one wishes any sort of speed, and certainly far more comfort.
> First-Class rate: 8d ($4) per mile
> Second-Class rate: 2d ($1) per mile
> Third-Class rate: 1d ($0.5) per mile
A train from London to Leeds, 206 miles away, would thus cost 17s/2d ($103).
----- Ships -----
The following serve as references, since the potential distances and liners are too many to calculate.
> Ferry from England to France: 4s/2d ($25)
> Passage from London to New York, Steerage: 8s/2d ($50) per person
> Passage from London to New York, 1st Class: 18s/4d ($110) per person
