Cars, trains, and planes are all capable of travelling farther and faster than a horse drawn carriage. This has caused them to fall out of favor with the general population in most developed countries.
There is a stigma around these carriages. People ( who typically do not know any better) see them as cruel and abusive. This is simply not true. In modern times, in developed countries, most people have lost their connection with large animals and the agricultural lifestyle and do not understand how a horses body, nor a carriage really works. Horses are far more suited to pulling a carriage than carrying a rider on it's back.
In the past ( 1800's and earlier) carriage drivers had to work a horse until it's last days to see a profit, which is where the stigma has come from and stuck. Nowadays though this is not the case. The horses are well cared for and rested when needed.
Another factor in carriages not being as popular is the cost of riding in one. Most carriage rides are very expensive and seen as a luxury. The high prices are due to rising costs of hay and feed, farrier and vet care. A drive has to make a profit to keep the horses healthy and pay their own bills.
