“Peta, the horse is here”
they where heading to work smh
“Bus won’t move until everyone takes a seat.”
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.
They just passed through, in the front door and out the back. Full-sized horses, the article has pictures. The owner wanted pictures for some event he was leading.
People: Why do you think you have to drive everywhere in Detroit? We have buses.
The buses:
This is my emotional support horse, I need it with me on the train.
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.
🧑✈️: exact change only please!
🐴: $3.50? But I dont carry loose change anymore. Nevermind, I’ll walk today.
(DDG search image from usatoday)This is the type of thing I would expect to be an AI prank.
What? Horses aren’t members of the public now?
Can’t have shit in Detroit.
In the category of “unsafe incidents” in Detroit. Horses on buses is very mild.
“What if the horse used the bathroom on the bus?“
Their public transport buses have bathrooms!? How would a horse fit into a bathroom?
Quite poorly, one would imagine.
you can probably squeeze a horse into the bathtub. It’s going to make a mess if they try to have a shower though
Hey, we just won some big elections. It’s time for horses to get their own bus service!
Universal public transport!
I understand this is seen as a joke and wouldn’t do anything aside from being annoyed, but as someone highly allergic to horses, my eyes would start watering and I’d start sniffling almost immediately if I’d be this close to them.
