In plain words

The law states that public places and public transport must provide convenience for disabled people who bring guide dogs, hearing dogs or assistance dogs. Blind people ride city buses, subways and ferries free with a valid certificate, and disabled people can bring along the assistive devices they need at no charge. If you are stopped, cite these two points, and if that doesn't work, file a complaint.
