What a very happy story,not sure if the horse was taken beyond his drop-off point.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-51146051

Bus driver kept asking the horse at each bus if this is where he wanted to alight.

The horse replied at every bus stop

Nehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

A happy story is always welcome. No reported "I'm not moving my push chair/shopping trolley", the rear end of horse probably concentrates minds!
