One Pet-Friendly Carriage. Let’s Get This on Track.

A message from Romeo Bossy Boots Lee, Pup Dates CEO and enthusiastic supporter of going places.

You should not need to own a car for your dog to be part of your life.

For people who do not own a car—or cannot drive—the current restrictions on companion dogs travelling on NSW trains can make veterinary appointments, family visits, moving house, holidays and ordinary community life extraordinarily difficult.

That is why Pup Dates is asking the NSW Government to conduct a two-year trial of one clearly designated pet-friendly carriage on every NSW train.

Not every carriage. Not unrestricted access. Just one designated space where responsible pet owners can travel with their dogs.

All other carriages would remain pet-free, allowing passengers with allergies, fears or other concerns to choose a carriage without companion animals. Assistance dogs would continue to travel throughout the network under their existing access rights.

It is a practical and balanced proposal—and, speaking as a dog of considerable importance, I believe it deserves a fair trial.

This Is About Transport, Not Party Politics

You do not have to support any particular political party, politician or political movement to sign this petition.

Signing does not indicate how you vote or endorse anyone’s broader political views. It simply tells the NSW Parliament:

“This issue matters to me, and I want this practical proposal to be considered.”

Whatever your politics—or whether you are interested in politics at all—if you believe NSW residents should have a safe and responsible way to travel by train with their pets, your signature matters.

We Need 20,000 NSW Signatures by 4 November 2026

Reaching 20,000 signatures will help secure a debate in the NSW Parliament and put this practical proposal directly before our elected representatives.

If you live in NSW, please sign the official NSW ePetition and then share it with three other NSW residents. Together, 20,000 voices can show Parliament that better public transport access for people with pets matters to our community.

One carriage. Two years. A fair trial.

And considerably more adventures.

SIGN THE OFFICIAL NSW ePETITION

For the button, I would use SIGN THE OFFICIAL NSW ePETITION because it provides more confidence than simply saying “Sign the petition” and makes the action unmistakable.
