Got on the (Tfl) bus home after work last night and saw a large bulldog sitting ON the seat next to its owner, on the lower deck. I remember the Tfl rules on dogs on buses went roughly as follows:
Dogs travel free. They are carried at the discretion of the driver or conductor but are not allowed on seats. On double deck buses they usually travel upstairs but in special circumstances the driver or conductor may allow a small dog to be carried downstairs. They must be kept under control at all times.
No argument from me that the dog wasn't under control as it was just sitting there and actually looked quite placid, I'm just more annoyed by the fact that the driver either chose to ignore, or was oblivious to, the fact that the dog was on a seat, plus it was by no means a small dog so it shouldn't have been downstairs. I certainly wouldn't be in a hurry to sit on that particular seat on that particular bus for quite a while. So are all dogs allowed a) downstairs and b) on seats now then??
