The athlete reacted immediately, pointing out to the driver that his refusal violated the law. The dialogue between them was intense, while she posted a related video on her personal TikTok account.
According to current legislation, guide dogs have the right of access to all public and private means of transportation, making the taxi driver’s refusal illegal.
