End Transport Exclusion for Dog Owners: Introduce Pet-Friendly Train Carriages
The issue
Your dog shouldn't need a car to be part of your life.
Thousands of responsible dog owners are being excluded from community life because dogs are not allowed on Sydney's trains.
That means missing out on dog-friendly events, struggling to reach parks and beaches, finding it harder to get to veterinary appointments, and feeling isolated simply because you don't own a car.
It doesn't have to be this way.
We're calling on the NSW Government to introduce one clearly designated pet-friendly carriage on every train as part of a two-year trial. It's a practical, balanced solution that gives dog owners greater freedom while respecting other passengers.
Cities around the world already make this work. Sydney can too.
Every signature sends a clear message that Australians want a public transport system that is more inclusive, more sustainable and better connected to the way people live today.
If you believe responsible dog owners deserve the freedom to travel with their canine companions, please sign today.
Then, if you can, share this petition with just three other people. If every supporter does the same, together we can build the momentum needed to bring about real change.
Our dogs enrich our lives every day. Let's give them—and the people who love them—the opportunity to be part of community life without a car.
Sign the petition today and help make pet-friendly public transport a reality.
