Q. What is Metro's policy regarding animals on buses?

A. Service animals for persons with disabilities ride without charge, as do small dogs that will fit in their owners' laps. Large dogs, leashed, pay the same fare as their owner and may not occupy a seat, but should ride on the floor of the coach next to their owner.

Other animals, cats, etc. that are not service animals must be carried in appropriate pet carriers.
