Two horses briefly board public bus in Detroit

CCTV footage shows the moment a bus approaches a stop with two riders waiting with their horses. After a discussion with the driver, the riders walk the horses onto the bus briefly before de-boarding.

The City of Detroit said its Department of Transportation allows service animals on buses in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. But officials say that in this event, the horses appeared to have been brought on board for unrelated reasons, creating safety concerns for other passengers and for the horses themselves.

The city said it would now provide additional training for bus drivers.

One of the riders later told local media that he brought the horses on board to raise awareness of black cowboys and urban equestrian culture.
