Hi there, Just interested in feedback in terms of individuals experience re. travelling in taxis with their guide dogs! I use public transport a great deal, and taxis regularly too. Recently, I have come across undesirable practices and attitudes of taxi and cab drivers towards the reality of me travelling with Woody, and on highlighting that it is illegal to refuse to carry a GDO and his, her dog, I have heard a whole array of excuses! At this point I won't go into too much detail, since my experiences are currently with the Taxi Regulator's Office and being pursued - suffice to say, I find it intolerant, inexcusable, and totally discriminatory behaviour. Thankfully, on the other hand, I have drivers who pick us up too who never question the issue of travel with one's guide dog! I feel as a group, and certainly as an organisation, all involved with guide dogs [and assistance dogs of any kind] must promote awareness on a large scale in order to combat the prejudices that exist sadly in society in 2006! Any feedback in terms of one's experiences most welcome! Cheers!
