Anyone with a broken down car may have too, lol. I even already presented this possible scenario in my original comment. If what you’re suggesting was true, people wouldn’t be able to enter with cellphones, wheelchairs, or any other battery powered device. Ignorance of the drivers is too large, but if you explain why, most will let you, since you know, it’s not illegal…. You do know the bus has a few already in it….? Yeah…? Or even someone bringing home a case of drinks, same weight and possible consequences, and totally legal. You’re focusing too much on the irrelevant shit lol.

Here’s even a picture of one and someone doing so.

You’re just a fool I guess, dunno what anime has to do with the original topic.

[comment upon comment inventing about hypothetical scenarios and other strawmen] [...] "You’re focusing too much on the irrelevant shit lol."

My first comment started off with “luggage”, that’s something most people take on a bus, I than went on into a few specific EXAMPLES that could potentially be worse, did you seriously think that was an exhaustive list? Or that any of them can’t or don’t frequently already happen? A mobility scooter is far worse than a horse, and those are allowed. So what do you have to say about that you obtuse troll?

Keep this up, you’re my entertainment on a dreary day, this is fucking hilarious how far you keep digging. You’re ignoring all of my comment to focus on one single specific detail, that’s not even important to the overall point.

Get a life.

You’re ignoring all of my comment to focus on one single specific detail, that’s not even important to the overall point.

Because none of what you've said so far is relevant to the overall point. All you've offered are false equivalencies, which is why nobody's taking your argument seriously and why I'm comparing it to cartoonish scenarios, because you've chosen a very comical stance to take on the subject.

A horse stands at 6+ feet tall. Your batteries and luggage are not hoisted 6 feet off the ground when you get on a bus. Also, wheelchairs and mobility scooters literally get tied down and locked in place before the driver can shift back into drive. Y'know, because of the wheels.

I don't know what sort of Final Destination scenario you're imagining that makes it more likely for a 12-inch (generously estimated), 15lb cube on the floor to be jettisoned at the precise angle to be more dangerous than 1000lb of unsecured horse meat that occupies 2/3 of the breadth of the bus and is already standing at the optimal human-crushing height. One of those requires many stars to align in order to happen, and the other just requires that a horse is on the bus at the time of the incident.

Besides, it still doesn't matter because the horse, itself, is the threat. It doesn't require an outside force to act upon it for it to be dangerous. It just has to get spooked by a falling leaf for it to kick somebody's head clean off, or get sleepy and decide Grandma's now-ragdolled body is a great napping spot. The vehicle never even has to be in motion for the horses' presence to be a hazard.

Jesus, this is stupid.
