I'm going to be speaking at an event at Christchurch’s central library (Turanga) at the end of the month ("Moving around a 21st century city", 2-4 pm, Sunday 30th May). It's about how to get more people on public transport. It is normal to take a dog on the bus or the underground in London or on trains all over Europe. You can’t take them on any public transport here in New Zealand (except the ferry).
