Public transport services providers have their own rules and mostly do not accept dogs on buses. There are exceptions: guide dogs, police dogs, military dogs, rescue unit dogs and mountain rescue dogs accompanied by a guide, guide dogs with the guided person.

The main public transportation services provider in Bohinj (Arriva) also accepts smaller animals on buses, which are transported in dedicated transport boxes.

Arriva has set the regulations regarding the transport of dogs on the basis of Article 42 of the Decree on the method of implementation of economic public service on passenger public line transport in inner road transport and on the concession of this public service, published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 29/2019 as of 6 May 2019.
