Well, I also think it is not worth it to spend so much on a guide dog in the first place. To me, they sound luxury. We can hire an assistant/escort for a rate much cheaper than that...

Busses and underground/trams/trains are assured with low step to climb, so a guide dog can manage easily. On top, communication with a dog, especially with a guide one on the road, can turn into a big issue if anything happens and the dog was distracted by someone else, which means, it is forbidden for children and/or grown ups to communicate with a guide dog on the road, unless emergency situations. Not to mention, the hygeen level a dog requiers, especially if living indoors is very very costly, by all means and I am sure this increases still when it comes to a country with a summer climate like India.
