Change The Ruling for Dogs on Buses!
Sign Now
TFL Guidance States that:
" In most cases, drivers should allow a passenger with a small dog to board. If the driver feels that the bus is too busy and the presence of a dog would make some passengers feel upset then they can use their discretion and ensure that the dog is carried upstairs or refuse entry. "
I have a small dog - a Jack Russell. Because of being sent upstairs on buses I have been verbally abused by passengers, my friend has recieved an injury and I was sexually assaulted. All of this because the driver could not bear the sight of the dog downstairs. A small dog who is harmless should be allowed to sit wherever it wants on a bus. Passengers upstairs are often as offended as those downstairs, and there is a lot more room downstairs for a dog to lie and not both anyone. People who are drunk or high on drugs are allowed to sit wherever they want and cause a threat to customers, however a harmless dog is not.
Sign this petition to change the ruling so that dog owners are not penalised on London Transport.
Sign the petition to help us question why a dog being upstairs makes any difference to the passengers?
Sign the petition to get justice for those who have been injured or caused emptional distress unnecessarily all because a bus driver sent them upstairs with their dog.
Sign this petition to make Transport for London acknowledge that they are jeapordising their passengers' safety by asking them to take a dog upstairs, for example, in the middle of the night.

I'm tired of being harassed because of my dog. I have been on buses and witnessed fights, screaming expletive rants, body odours so bad they made your eyes smart,. Yet, these are rarely if ever deemed disruptive enough by the bus drivers 'discretion' to r

its not always possible to get a dog up the very steep stairs of the bus plus the bus drivers NEVER stop long enough for you to safely get up or down the stairs with the dog

providing the owner acts responsibly - I am a pensioner and my dog does not like being left on her own at home - why should she, I don't either!

Its a joke drivers do not let non dangerous dogs on board, they need to get a life and have some heart.

This is the best petition I have seen for a while! I have a registered P.A.T. Dog to walk every week, and she certainly won't do anyone any harm!

i totally agree that dogs should be allowed on buses whenever and wherever, aslong as they are safe and its obvious that they have no intentions of eating anyone (:

Normally I have no issues staying downstairs but there is one bus driver who is so rude and always yells at me to go upstairs instead of just asking.
