One day, NYC could be compared to other fine cities like Toronto, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver with their pet-friendly transportation opportunities….
Currently, you can bring small pets in carriers onto most trains, buses, and cabs. You can even pay Pet Taxi or Pet Chauffeur to give your pet a ride.

The one thing you cannot do…legally…is take a leashed dog onto the MTA trains or buses.

In honor of this law-breakin’ Husky dog, and all the other dogs that wouldn’t exactly squish into a carrier, we support this petition to allow dogs onto city subways. (Of course, we are not referring to dogs that ride the train solo. Nor would we allow the people who don’t clean up after dogs that mistake the train for the bathroom.)
via email:
I’ve started a petition to allow medium/large dogs on the train (the
dogs that don’t fit into carriers). It’s called NYC - Let Me Get On
That Train. There are some suggestions for regulations including
taking the Canine Good Citizen test to be allowed to ride. For more
info please go to:

Thanks for your support!
Thanks, Amanda Soto, for starting this petition!
