BUGGY, YEAH NAH
You can take a dog on public transport trains and buses in the Wellington region so long as the dog can be secured (enclosed) in a carrier bag.
But you cannot take a dog in a three-four wheeler buggy (designed for small-medium size dogs) in public transport even if the buggy compartment was secured (enclosed).
But you can take a baby in an equal sized or larger buggy in the train or bus with or without a secured compartment.
Does all this seem fair and sensible? No, it's plain stupid. I don't think Metlink have thought it through.
In Auckland on public transport you can have a dog in a carrier bag or a dog of any size fitted with a muzzle and on a leash otherwise "free-wheeling".
Wellington's Metlink should think again. When I phoned them, I had to wait 15 minutes while the person I dealt with queried my query with the powers that be.
I have taken Corgis into Wellington many times in a train in a pet carrier - from one of only two manufacturers in the world able to supply such a carrier to fit a long backed Corgi with Corgis weighing up 16kg (without being obese).
