If it actually IS necessary - i.e. if you're the sort of person whose anxiety disorder is so overwhelming that you can't leave the house without being overcome - and if you're further a part of what I assume is the rare subset of such people that having a cat or dog next to you makes all the difference to allow you to do so - sure. But if we're licensing people to have support animals or guide dogs (as BC is according to that story), surely we can make that assessment on a case by case basis.

It is probably much easier for able bodied people such as yourself to get around without using public transit than it is for a disabled person so maybe the better solution is for you not to take the bus as you probably have other options. I'm sure most disabled people wouldn't have an issue if you did though...
