Additional training:

Step 1. Don't let horse on bus

Any questions?

Yes. Why are bicycles allowed but not horses? Same device and purpose.

Amount of poop/pee made by horse: ???

  • "what if it's more than one horse?"
  • "What if it's wearing blinders?"
  • "What if the horse wants to come on the bus?"
  • "What is the enforcement mechanism for blocking a large animal from boarding?"
  • "What about ponies, they are so cute?"
  • "What about other hooves animals?"
  • "What about on rural routes?"
  • ...

Work in HR, I can go on forever. If people truly aren't interested or incentivized to take in the info, they will not.

  • can the horse ride on top?
  • what if it falls in, then out, but then halfway back in?
  • if it can talk does it count?
  • Cows?
  • if the horse pays double can it hang on the back?

Can the horse be placed on the bike carrier? They both have riders!

Yes, many. Are ponies OK? Or donkeys? If donkeys are OK, what about mules? How do we differentiate from one another? Should we exclusive all equine? What about bovine? Dogs and cats can go still, right? Are all cannids and felines allowed? If wolfs can't, what about foxes? Were do hyenas fall in those categories?
