Etymology
The term 'carfare' originates from the early 20th century, combining the words 'car', referring to a vehicle, and 'fare', which indicates the cost of transportation. The word 'fare' itself comes from the Old English 'fære', which means journey or travel. As public transportation systems expanded, particularly in urban areas, the need for a term to specify the cost associated with such travels grew, leading to the popularization of 'carfare'. This term became especially prevalent with the rise of buses and taxis as primary means of transport in cities. Over time, carfare has come to be associated not just with personal journeys but also with insights into the economic aspects of urban transit systems.
