- DDOT said the incident breached policy and could affect passengers.

## Summary

Two horses boarded a Detroit city bus in a video that spread widely online, prompting the city’s transport department to criticise the stunt. The incident drew attention both to the safety and comfort of passengers and to Urban City Cowboys, the group whose co-founder said he wanted to highlight Black cowboys in Detroit.

The horses were led onto the bus near 7 Mile and Strasburg Street last Saturday, walked down the aisle and left through the rear door. Jordan Williams said he had spotted the bus after a fundraiser and spoke to the driver before boarding; he said he had taken horses on other DDOT routes before. DDOT said the incident was against its policy and could make the ride unsafe or uncomfortable; its rules allow controlled service animals, but do not accommodate horses.
