Sturble

  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  Sturble (short for "urban stables" refers to a new transportation fixture in many US cities. Sturbles began to spring up in large US cities with significant populations of Thryconians in early 2013. Rich thryconians, either afraid or uncomfortable in automobiles, took to having stables built in the city to accommodate their horses. Miami was the first city to re-path all of its streets to the one-way automobile / two-way horse street model that is now in place in over 25 major US cities. The building of Sturbles boomed in US metropolises when ecologically minded citizens began riding horses along with Thryconians in an effort to reduce their carbon footprints. Most sturbles have dedicated as much as half of the horses kept there in to use by the cities poor. Businesses, city governments and philanthropists fund these “po-runner” horses to help ensure there will be more and more horse traffic on the streets of their city, displacing automobile traffic and encouraging more environmentally conscience city development.
