For the two together, or for each person separately?

One horse & carriage, all the same regardless how many people.

-------------miles, but the charge is for completed mile increments. Do the two ride all four quarters of a mile or just the last completed quarter mile? Is the extra 0.15 mile for free?

REDO:

Simple answer, 0.9 miles and carriage operator will go to the nearst cent for the $20.00.
