Would it not be a popular mount if Stagecoaches were a means of travel between cities?
A player operated mount that could allow up to 2-4 additional riders. One player as the driver, 2 players inside as riders, and two on the back for tailgating. Ever since Cataclysm i have always wondered what it would be like to have race based stagecoaches that you could ride around in and even use for RP.
The Kaldorei have theirs, Gilneas has their own variant, even the model used in Revendreth. Driver would even have specific attire.

That would be really cool. It should be able to be implemented because we already have multi passenger mounts and toys. Maybe there would be a way to combine it with a ground mount you already have so you can set the ground mount to be the stead that pulls your carriage.
Oh wow! That would be wagons. Yes! You don’t get a stage coach mount, you get a stage coach wagon. The wagon is hitched to a ground mount from your collection. We all now get to obsess over collecting the perfect wagon/mount combination and yes, the Pook is well away I’ve potentially put the cart before the horse but that’s getting off track. OMG! Rustic farm wagons, stately carriage, mechanized war chariots. I must have them all. THE POOK NEEDS THEM ALL!!! I don’t care! I don’t care that they don’t exist the Pook must find the optimal mount and wagon combination! Too late, I’m already making the wagons in my head. They’re so awesome!

I’d also love an option for a driver npc as a default, although I’ve no clue how well that would work. I know it’s simply a matter of kicking out the npcs in other mounts to open up the seat, but a driver one would have to be made interchangable with your character, rather than opening up for the other players.
The ideal Stagecoach would include a Rostrum-style customization system, allowing for Players to pimp out their Stagecoaches using various cosmetic customization options rewarded through a number of ways ranging from Dungeon and Raid Drops, Holiday purchases, PvP Rewards, Faction and Reputations, Quests, World Drops, Crafting Professions, or even secret discoveries: like traveling to Azsuna to find a kayak and oaars before bringing them to Suramar and requesting them to be repaired for a fee, which’ll unlock them as a custom appearance on your Stagecoaches’ Luggage Rack.
We can also customize the harness to assign your own Mounts to pull it for you based on the Mounts’ size: Horses, Wolves, Raptors and Rams could pull it in teams of four, Elekks, Riverbeasts, Yaks, and Clefthoofs would pull it in pairs, and larger mounts like the Yetis, Mammoths, Snails, and “The Long Boi” could haul it by themselves.
We can even unlock a Follower System for the Stagecoach called Caravanners; but unlike with other Follower Systems in the game: there would be no Mission Tables (hallelujah!), with each Caravanner collected being able to be assigned to a position on your Stagecoach in the nine availsble slots while aboard: who will grant Players with certain Buffs and Passives when assigned like “Increased Ground Mount Speed at Nighttime Hours”, “Finding more Gold off of Enemies”, “Playing a Zones’ Music with another Instrument”, etc.
