Please Sit in the Back of the Bus

My bus driver told me an interesting story on the ride home. One day he was driving his route when the voice of the dispatcher came over the radio and said that under NO circumstances was he to pick up the horse at the next stop and let it on board. Pick up a horse? Yes, it turns out that a lady had brought her horse onto another bus earlier in the day. Well behaved dogs are allowed on buses, but this horse (which from reports was also well behaved) just befuddled the management. They could not agree to future transit use by a horse. My guess is that it was a Welsh pony, which is pretty small for a horse. But I like the idea of someone standing at the bus stop with their horse, waiting for the next bus to show...
