Just because it’s cute, doesn’t mean it can come aboard.

Bad Behavior
1.1 Bringing prohibited animals without placing them in a carrier. Emotional support, therapy, comfort and companion pets are not considered service animals and therefore must be kept in a carrier when on LBT property. Bringing carriers that block the aisle or doorway. All pet carriers must be rigid and have locks or latches.

Best Behavior
We love service animals as permitted by the Americans with Disabilities Act and all other applicable state and federal laws. As long as these pets are under control and accompanied by an individual with a disability or a person responsible for training the animal, they’re welcome aboard.

We’ll take you to the store, but we’re not a marketplace.

Bad Behavior

2.2 Giving commercial handbills or flyers to bus operators or customers.
