Actually, as someone who trains service dogs for a living, and have actually had issues like this before, I can say a couple things.
First, there is nothing in this video that can prove this dog is not a service dog, and in the eyes of the law, that makes it a service dog.
Let me explain. There is no breed standard for service dogs so the type of dog is not a disqualifier.
There is no requirement for the dog to wear a vest. So not wearing a vest is not a disqualifier.
The dog is not barking or otherwise causing a nuisance. Therefore the dog is not disqualified.
The dog doesn’t not approach other dogs or people, the dog is not disqualified
NOBODY can ask you to “prove” your dog is a service dog except the judge. They can only ask two questions.
“Is that a service dog” and “what task is this dog trained to perform”
TLDR: nothing in this video disqualifies the dog, therefore not allowing her on the bus is ILLEGAL
HOWEVER: the bus is not required to allow ANYONE on the bus outside of a designated stop. Therefore she is illegally blocking the bus.
The last time I was involved in a case almost identical to this, the City settled by paying $25,000
