Kočija

Kočija ili kočije je naziv za kola, odnosno kopneno vozilo na kotačima za prijevoz putnika koje pokreću životinje, najčešće konji. Kočije se od ostalih vozila na stočnu vuču ističu prije svega zato što su izrađene za prijevoz putnika, odnosno što su njihovoj udobnosti žrtvovane veličina tereta i/li brzina. Zbog toga su se tradicionalno smatrali jednim od statusnih simbola više klase koje su ih jedino mogli priuštiti; sa razvojem velikih gradova su se počele koristiti za taksi službu, odnosno gradski prijevoz. Krajem 19. vijeka su kočije služile kao model za izradu tzv. kočija bez konja, odnosno prvih putničkih automobila. Razvoj automobilskog prometa je u potpunosti istisnuo kočije kao prijevozno sredstvo; danas se koriste isključivo u ceremonijalne svrhe ili kao turistička atrakcija.

Britanski kralj George VI i kraljica Elizabeta se voze kočijom za vrijeme posjeta Kanadi 1939.
