Shanghai is rolling out the red carpet for four-legged passengers with its first pet-friendly bus line, connecting parks, malls, and riverside promenades. No more cramped car rides—now pets can travel in style!                                           

The city, where 1 in 4 households owns a pet, has been doubling down on animal-friendly policies. Earlier this year, a government-backed stray cat shelter made headlines, and now this bus—decked out in paw-print decals—boasts dedicated pet seats, cleaning stations, and waste bins for stress-free journeys.                             

From pet cafes to adoption festivals, Shanghai’s pet-inclusive culture is thriving. As one owner put it: It’s not just about convenience—it’s about making pets part of city life.
