Dogs not allowed on some buses

There are john and at the moment it is "at the drivcers discretion"
I've never had trouble getting my dog on the bus but have been asked to take her up the back which annoyed me as enclosed spaces frighten her and its not like people wouldnt have to pass her anyway when we got off.

are there any official rules or regulations concerning dogs travelling on buses

what is the official rule on dogs travelling on buses i.e. are there any standard conditions by the bus companies

This sounds like an A.rriv-a bus driver attitude and behaviour

I tried to board a 180 to abbeywood with a jack russell , and the black driver sat there looking at me nodding his head side to side . a man behind me stepped forward to get on bus , so I kindly moved aside to let him on . I took one step on the bus , and the driver said I dont want a dog on my bus, I replied the buss is almost empty , and he again said , not on my bus. I said you are out of order this aint your bus , its a bus for the public , you drive the bus for a company offering transport to the likes of me. he then drove away how very rude!!

Jhon, every single person in the whole world I expect finds something threatening !! No man is an island; we cannot wrap ourselves up in cotton wool, so I totally disagree with what you say. Dog attacks in this country are far, far less frequent than attack by other human beings ... so are you saying that we should avoid all contact with our fellow humans, just in case one of them attack us ?

What you see a small dog others may find it threatening or they may have some medical conditions which having to be with a dog in a closed place would make it worse. So I agree with the first driver for making the right decision, and beside, after all those dogs attacks incidents I think everybody should act the same.

I too had an officous bus driver refuse to let me board the S3 bus this evening with my dog I complained as the bus was empty completely and only one other person in the queue behind me. Can someone tell me who this route is for and in the circumstances was this driver right to refuse us or was it just a case of meaness.

I had the worst experience with a dog on a bus today and stumbled upon this article while looking for the tfl ruling on the matter and/or someone to complain to. caught the 29 from cambridge circus northbound, this is a single level bending bus, and a group got on the bus at the same stop with a dog.

the dog was absolutely filthy, it stunk and farted the whole way from there until where I got off in holloway. the group had the dog in the middle of the bus (the bendy bit) on the ground where it was obstructing other passengers. They were also obstructing the rest of the standing areas and weren't letting people past which forced everyone to walk over the dog to get off the bus.

irresponsible people like this are the reason why dogs are not allowed on buses, so don't blame the bus drivers blame the other dog owners who act in an offensive manner.

I also have travelled on the bus with my dogs 4 free . At the time I had 2 with me and I had no problem 2 . so I do not know what you are talking about Ray E

The rules regarding dogs on busses is clear in the Rules of Carraige, Thet state, and I quote - "ONE GRAYHOUND PER PLATFORM" so only one dog is allowed per floor of a bus, one for single deckers and one up and one down on double deckers, Large dogs and those breeds registered as dangerous dogs, MUST be muzzled, ALL dogs must be on a leash at all times when travelling. The only exception to this rule is guide dogs, up to two may be carried.
It is up to the specific operators whether you must pay to bring you dog onto there busses.

Well I'm British and my dogs has travelled with me for nothing on the bus, no problem. Your bus driver there obviously doesn't like dogs!
