SUMMARY:

This work investigates the experience of transport workers in the city of Salvador in the second half of the 19th century, using registration records of urban workers as its main source, which contains data on 713 men. It focuses on the analysis and interpretation of the way in which carters, coachmen, drivers and apprentices were developing their own ways of social and work relationships that were shared on the streets of the city of Salvador between 1866-1874. From the analysis of the series of correspondence sent from the city council to the province's presidency between the 1850s, 1860s and 1870s, it was possible to raise issues involving urban services such as the distribution of gas, water, meat greenery and cleaning of streets and squares, as well as passenger movement and other modalities, services provided for a long time by cars and carts, as well as their drivers.
Although there was a certain hegemony surrounding the carrying work carried out almost exclusively by African slaves, after the end of the slave trade in 1850, new investments in cities and changes in the world of work had to be made. This contributed to the greater modification and flattening of streets for the use of cars, carts and trams that were gradually implemented in the urban perimeter of Salvador during the period studied.
