Dogs, Cats, Birds, or any other pets will not be transported.   ADA-certified service animals (any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability and accompanying said person) are allowed on Blue Apple Bus Company buses. These animals may not travel in the aisle or occupy a seat and are the responsibility of their owner and must be under the control of their owner at all times. Blue Apple Bus Company reserves the right to refuse passage to any animal that poses a direct threat to the health and safety of other customers and or company personnel.   Emotional support animals or comfort animals (being used as part of a medical treatment plan as therapy animals) are not considered service animals under the ADA. Although these animals provide companionship and can help with depression or anxiety, they do not have specialized training to perform tasks that assist persons with disabilities. As such, these animals are not covered by federal laws protecting the use of service animals.
