Horses and horse drawn transport generated an huge amount of horse poo and was a major health risk also horse riding is dangerous.

The comment was talking about the "danger" of mass transit, not horses.

I think it was mass transit prior to cars they where talking about.

There was a good period of time where trains, trams, and underground trains (from 1863!) were available as "mass transit", while cars were either not invented or rare luxuries. I don't think it makes sense to include horses in that.
