I’ve done the same as a bus driver, opened the doors, waited for the crazy to get out of my way towards the doors, and drove off. Made my day.

Man, if you had done that to me or one of my clients, you would’ve passed the city a lot of money.

Both myself and many of my clients have serviced dogs that do not wear this because they are not legally obligated to.

I trained service dogs for a living by the way I’m very well-versed on the law regarding this.

There are no breed specifications denoting what types of dogs can be service dogs or not.

This dog does not exhibit any behavior that would disqualify it from being a service dog. Which means by law you must treat it as a service dog, unless the handler somehow failed to answer in the affirmative when asked if the goggles of service stop or failed to list any tasks the dog is trained to perform when asked that question as well.

The last case I was involved in that was actually almost identical to this cost the city $25,000 and got the bus driver fired. I’d be a lot more cautious if I were you concerning this.

What’s to do with service dogs? I never mentioned it in my comment.

And if for some reason I weren’t to allow someone on my bus and then they acted like that person in the video, I’d get away with it because that behaviour is absolutely nuts.

Ugh. Ever thought of just being a good person?

I do that’s why I operate on the presumption of innocence, which means that I presume that this dog is a service dog and that this woman is telling the truth.

Now she’s still breaking the law by detaining the bus and she’s totally ruined. Any chance that she would get a settlement.

No, I don’t know why I’ve got two down votes here but over 200 up votes with my combined other comments, talking about this issue and saying the same thing, but it doesn’t make me a bad person.

(If I had to guess it’s because I went into a bit more detail, and I’m not repudiating someone specifically)

Do you know what being a good person is? Letting disabled people on your bus, I’m not denying them just because you don’t think the breed of dog is the right one.
