For service animals, it doesn't matter unless there is a specific reason.

> Service animals are always permitted to accompany their users in any private or public transportation vehicle or facility. This means that they must be allowed to ride with the person with a disability.

> One of the most common misunderstandings about service animals is that they are limited to being guide dogs for persons with visual impairments. But dogs used as service animals are trained to assist people with a wide variety of disabilities, including individuals with hearing and mobility impairments.

> One more thing: charging extra fees to carry a service animal and an individual with a disability would also be a violation of the ADA.
