Rental cars are so expensive this summer in England we might rent a bike instead but we have to walk a dog and we cannot leave him more than 3 hours. Can we take a normal dog (i mean not a special dog for blind of deaf people) on buses ? Is it allowed ? Must he be put in a bag (weight : 18 kilos) . Is it at discretion of the bus driver ?
Do taxis accept dogs in England ?
I tried to find out if this topic has been answered before, but it does not seem it had
Hi @Candide most bus & train companies in the UK allow dogs. Taxi’s Ubers etc you need to enquire when booking, I know you’ve discounted rental cars because of costs but many do not allow dogs in their cars anyway. Where will you be sitting and do you have easy walking access to most places?

Very helpful as always, thanks Angela
We travel in the UK by car but like to park up and use the public transport. We just love taking dogs on buses and trains - “Dogs on Tour”

Unfortunately our lurcher is terrified of travelling on a bus……we did park and ride once with her when visiting Bath and she spent the whole journey hiding under my seat shaking and panting, I would not subject her to that again and have asked sitters not to take her on a bus. If sitters do not have a car the dogs can easily be walked from home.
