If Public Transport is Going to Work for Everyone, it Needs to Allow Dogs

I'm going to be speaking at an event at Christchurch’s central library (Turanga) at the end of the month ("Moving around a 21st century city", 2-4 pm, Sunday 30th May). It's about how to get more people on public transport. It is normal to take a dog on the bus or the underground in London or on trains all over Europe. You can’t take them on any public transport here in New Zealand (except the ferry).

We took our car to Turners to be auctioned this Thursday. Hopefully it will sell and I’ll be using my bike and the bus a lot more.
