Observe Rules for Animals

A Wild Ride
Public transportation can be a zoo, and we Muni Ladies are reminded of this when we see a parrot, chicken, or the occasional pot-bellied pig on our commute. Crikey! While these creatures are generally accompanied by a fare-paying human, it's important to be mindful of mass transit and pet etiquette. Petiquette states that riders should consider those around them when it comes to animals and their behavior. Remember that not everyone thinks it's a dog's world, and some riders may appreciate distance from man's best friend due to allergies or fear. If you must tote your buddy on transit, do so in a small bag or carrier and stow appropriately for the safety of others. On the flip side, service animals can ride unmuzzled on most forms of transit. Guide dogs and police pooches are working, so admire from afar unless you have permission to approach. Want to avoid becoming a pet peeve? Give our suggestions some paws for thought, and we guarantee you'll be the cat's meow.
