A Wild RidePublic 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.
Muni Manner: Be mindful of pets and service animals on public transportation. It's the safe and courteous thing to do.

Funny you should do a post on this now considering the precious cargo on a recent trip using the Phoenix light rail...
I happened to be getting on board the train the other day and this passenger boards at the same time with an enclosed pink baby carriage. However, it was an odd sized carriage...very small.
The woman makes her way to the seat and everyone is giggling as she sits down.. turns out there's no baby in the carriage. It's a chihuaha! In an enclosed baby carriage!
Anyway, I'm not sure if they make the carriages especially for dogs (or cats, or ferrets, etc) but I thought it was a great way to transport your pet. Having said that, I'm not sure if a guy could get away with schlepping around a pink carriage. At least not here in Phoenix. ;)
