that dogs have been allowed on the Montreal metro since 2022? Experience in the Montreal metro<strong> has shown that harmonious coexistence with dogs on public transit is possible.<\/strong> The city\u2019s transit corporation did not record any cases of dog bites or substantiated complaints about soiling or damage caused by dogs during the more than two years of the pilot project. <strong>This positive experience has even convinced them to extend this access to buses:<\/strong> a pilot project will be implemented in 2026.<\/p><p>As you know, many of our fellow citizens in _________ (municipality) live with a dog. Therefore, I believe that our municipality and our public transit corporation should allow leashed dogs on our bus network.<\/p><p>The ban on dogs on buses particularly affects low-income individuals and those who do not have a vehicle. It also encourages car use. <strong>Allowing dogs on buses would encourage people to travel with their animals in a more environmentally friendly way.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>This ban also restricts access to veterinary care, which can be detrimental to the health and welfare of dogs,<\/strong> in addition to limiting their access to green spaces. Allowing dogs on our city&#8217;s buses would give them more opportunities to exercise and socialize, which would contribute to the creation of a better socialized and well-trained canine population, resulting in <strong>increased public safety.<\/strong><\/p><p>I hope I can count on your support,\u202f<\/p><p>[Your name]\u202f<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33562e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"33562e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to you, dogs are now permanently allowed in the Montreal metro.
