Pet dogs will be allowed on board Metrolink trams as part of a three-month trial due to launch next month, transport bosses announced today.
It means people's pooches will get to ride supervised for the first time in the network's 30-year history. Dogs must be kept on leads - and there will be no extra travel charge for passengers with them.
The scheme, a manifesto pledge made by Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, will be delivered by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) and tram operator Keolis Amey Metrolink (KAM).
TfGM said from Monday, August 1, all non-assistance dogs will be able to travel on the network for free, but owners must follow new rules on safety, cleanliness and the consideration of other passengers, including keeping dogs on leads.
