    People: Why do you think you have to drive everywhere in Detroit? We have buses.

    The buses:

    How did they even fit on the bus? I know for sure my local buses couldn’t fit a horse ubless you removed all the seating. Do American buses not have seats?

      Sometimes there’s a large flat elevator area for wheelchair access, but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen one big enough for not one, but two horses, unless they were miniature horses.

        Oh yeah, miniature horses would fit. Some ponies might too, I suppose.

    Probably a fake story, Haley Stevens doesn’t seem like she would ever take a public bus

      Used to work for a transit agency. I didn’t know before my training that miniature horses are recognized service animals that are permitted at least for that agency (depends on a venue’s ability to reasonably accommodate them). I never saw one while I was working there though. Doesn’t include emotional support animals, but I thought it was interesting

    True transit riders know you just keep your head down and don’t engage. The fact that the horses were noticed at all means people were not riding transit correctly.

    “What if the horse used the bathroom on the bus?“

    Their public transport buses have bathrooms!? Hire would a horse fit into a bathroom?

      you can probably squeeze a horse into the bathtub. It’s going to make a mess if they try to have a shower though
