Today my boyfriend saw a guy faking blindness to take his dog on the subway.
He was standing on the NRQW platform at 42nd Street, wearing sunglasses, and had his dog done up in one of those crossbar harnesses. The dog in question was described as "the happiest yellow lab you've ever seen."
Then the guy took off his sunglasses to read the subway map.
Then the cops caught him reading the map, trying to find out how to get to Astoria, and wrote him a ticket.
Then the cops pet the dog. Perversion of JUSTICE?

In a city where most people don't cars or drive regularly - and where there is huge support for a congestion charge and other things like cycling to make this livable city more livable - it is sad indeed that people have to fake a disability to take their dogs on transit.
