There is no expense involved. If stopped, one must cite the relevant legal provisions; this may lead to a brief standoff.
The law clearly states that managers of public venues, transport facilities, and operators of public transport must provide reasonable accommodations for disabled persons traveling with guide dogs, hearing dogs, or other service animals. Additionally, blind individuals with valid identification may ride city buses, trams, subways, and ferries free of charge, and may bring any necessary assistive devices along. Should anyone object, simply point out these two provisions; if that fails, file a complaint.

Original recommendation and evidence
12. Guide dogs are allowed in public places and on public transport; blind individuals ride city buses for free.
Cost: There is no expense involved. If stopped, one must cite the relevant legal provisions; this may lead to a brief standoff.
In plain terms: The law clearly states that managers of public venues, transport facilities, and operators of public transport must provide reasonable accommodations for disabled persons traveling with guide dogs, hearing dogs, or other service animals. Additionally, blind individuals with valid identification may ride city buses, trams, subways, and ferries free of charge, and may bring any necessary assistive devices along. Should anyone object, simply point out these two provisions; if that fails, file a complaint.
Benefit: Article 46 of the Accessibility Law reads: “Managers of public venues, transport facilities, and operators of public transport must provide reasonable accommodations for disabled persons traveling with guide dogs, hearing dogs, or other service animals.” Article 35 further mandates that hotlines for civil services, emergency call systems for police, fire, traffic accidents, and medical emergencies must gradually incorporate accessibility features such as voice output, large print, Braille, and one‑touch dialing. Article 62 grants any individual the right to file complaints or reports regarding violations of this law; authorities must respond promptly. Article 50 of the Law on the Protection of Persons with Disabilities states: “Blind individuals with valid identification may ride city buses, trams, subways, ferries, and other public transport free of charge; mail containing Braille materials is also delivered at no cost.” It adds that local governments must ensure such individuals receive convenient and preferential treatment, including permission to bring any essential assistive devices (nationwide; Accessibility Law effective 1 September 2023).
Evidence grade: A
Sources: Barrier-free Environment Construction Law of the People's Republic of China (Article 35, Article 46, Article 62). <https://flk.npc.gov.cn/detail?id=ff80818188d7430b0189018493370940>; Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Disabled Persons (Article 50). <https://flk.npc.gov.cn/detail?id=ff8080816f135f46016f1d134c88132b>
Notes: The wording “provide reasonable accommodations” carries no explicit penalties, so opponents may not yield immediately during a confrontation. Keeping a screenshot of the relevant statutes on one’s phone is more useful than memorizing article numbers. If a resolution cannot be reached on the spot, Article 62 permits filing a formal complaint, which authorities must address. Separate regulations apply to railways and airlines; it is advisable to contact their customer service beforehand. The definition of “valid identification” for free transit varies by region; consulting the local disability affairs office is recommended.

12. 导盲犬可以带进公共场所和公共交通，盲人免费坐市内公交
成本: 不花钱。被拦下来时要开口引法条，可能要僵持一会儿。
说人话: 法律写明，公共场所和公共交通要为带导盲犬、导听犬、辅助犬的残疾人提供便利。盲人凭有效证件免费坐市内公交、地铁和渡船，残疾人可以免费带随身必备的辅助器具。被拦下来时把这两条说出来，不行就投诉。
收益: 《无障碍环境建设法》第四十六条：「公共场所经营管理单位、交通运输设施和公共交通运输工具的运营单位应当为残疾人携带导盲犬、导听犬、辅助犬等服务犬提供便利。」第三十五条规定，政务服务便民热线和报警求助、消防应急、交通事故、医疗急救等紧急呼叫系统，应当逐步具备语音、大字、盲文、一键呼叫等无障碍功能。第六十二条规定，任何组织和个人有权对违反本法规定的行为投诉、举报，主管部门应当及时处理并予以答复。《残疾人保障法》第五十条：「盲人持有效证件免费乘坐市内公共汽车、电车、地铁、渡船等公共交通工具。盲人读物邮件免费寄递。」同条还规定，县级以上人民政府对残疾人搭乘公共交通工具应当给予便利和优惠，残疾人可以免费携带随身必备的辅助器具（全国，无障碍环境建设法 2023 年 9 月 1 日起施行）
证据等级: A
来源: 中华人民共和国无障碍环境建设法（第三十五条、第四十六条、第六十二条）. <https://flk.npc.gov.cn/detail?id=ff80818188d7430b0189018493370940>；中华人民共和国残疾人保障法（第五十条）. <https://flk.npc.gov.cn/detail?id=ff8080816f135f46016f1d134c88132b>
备注: 法律写的是「提供便利」，没有配罚则，所以现场僵持时对方不一定立刻让步。手机里存一张法条截图，比背条号管用。当场解决不了就按第六十二条投诉，主管部门要答复。铁路和民航另有自己的规定，出行前先打客服确认。免费乘车的「有效证件」各地认的不完全一样，去当地残联问清楚认哪一种。
