The subway banned dogs and the people of NYC did not disappoint

Jun 15, 2017

If there's anything New Yorkers have in abundance it's creativity in the face of adversity.

Nothing will get in their way, not even the Metropolitan Transit Authority, capiche?

Last October, a new NYC transit rule came into effect prohibiting any animal from riding the subway, with the exception of service dogs and animals small enough to fit in a an enclosed container.

The new rule states: "No person may bring any animal on or into any conveyance or facility unless enclosed in a container and carried in a manner which would not annoy other passengers."

And of course, being the upstanding, law abiding citizens that they are, the people of NYC hav obeyed this new rule down to a tee.

Just take a look.

So a dog must fit into a bag to be permitted in the subway? No problem, they thought in New York: https://t.co/SxmvSM0Lro #edgardcooper #NYC pic.twitter.com/iCD1mMBQUn
