I would never take my dog on a bus, muzzled or not, because he would lose his mind barking and doesn't want strangers that close to him. He has never been trained to be an agressive dog but he has some anxiety issues (he's not a pit bull). I would have to agree that pit bulls get a bad rap. My friend's dog is part pit bull and would be fine on a bus (he rides the tram at Disneyland regularly). I'm sure for many people this is a necessity - if you're vet is far away and the dog had medication and can't walk home?

I have one that rides in a bag, unmuzzled of course. She's a lot cleaner than almost every person and doesn't smell, bark or make rude comments. I tell the driver she's a service animal, or show the pass. How do YOU know that the driver doesn't KNOW the person and her dog? I'm just saying, get over yourself and play nice with dogs.

Non-service dogs ARE allowed on Muni during non-commute times. What's the problem here? I don’t get it. Non-service dogs ARE allowed on Muni during non-commute times. What’s the problem here?

No arguing that.

Unfortunately, the only transit operator in the Bay Area which allows larger pet dogs (outside of a container, etc.) is MUNI. Not even the ferries allow them! If you want to change this situation and create a better "canine mobility chain" in the SF Bay Area, see "Dogs on Board!" at my website. When you see a dog on a bus etc. it can mean someone is not traveling by car. Pretty cool, and even it does not wear a muzzle, probably a lot safer, certainly less polluting.... Thanks!
