Araba (carriage)

An araba (from Turkish: araba ^[2]) (also arba or aroba) is a carriage drawn by horses or oxen, used in Turkey and neighboring countries in the 18th and 19th centuries, with crosswise seating and usually with a canopy top to protect occupants from the sun and afford privacy. It is usually heavy and built without springs; when it has springs it is called yaylı, shorter form of "yaylı araba" or "araba with springs".^{[1][2][3][4][5]}
