Pet owners petition to take animals on Ottawa buses

More than 2,500 pet owners in Ottawa have signed a petition urging OC Transpo to allow animals on the buses.

Across Canada, many cities allow small animals in carriers on buses during off hours. But Ottawa is not among them.

OC Transpo has said that up to now there wasn’t enough interest in the idea, but there was also worry about passengers having allergic reactions to the pets.

Candice O’Connell, of the Ottawa-based group Responsible Dog Owners of Canada, said Thursday that allergies should be not a concern.

“If you’re carrying a small animal in a crate, there’s very little risk of transferred pet dander. In fact there’s more pet dander transported by pet owners’ clothes daily that ride the bus,” O’Connell said.
