Getting around the city with a dog can be a bit challenging at times. Knowing the public transportation rules can save you a lot of hassle. Below is a quote provided by ww.nycgo.com/articles/nyc-transportation-getting-around
"Only small-size pets in carriers are allowed on MTA buses, subways and trains, as well as in taxis. Properly harnessed service animals are also permitted on mass transit. Taxi drivers may, at their discretion, pick up dogs without carry cases. The City is also home to several pet-taxi companies that can help transport pets that are not allowed on ordinary public transit."
