I'm surprised that the law requires you to allow dogs in your car. It's one thing for a public space, but for a private service it seems like it should be okay to have a no-dogs-allowed rule.
- kbar13 6y agoyour choice here is that you dont have to drive for rideshare, knowing that you don't want dogs in the car. because the ability to choose goes both ways. and because the industry is unregulated, the company isn't required to do anything like add a flag for a driver to avoid having to pick up dogs
- Pfhreak 6y agoYou can have a no dogs rule. You just can't have a "No service dogs" rule. Service dogs are essential to the welfare of their humans, denying them would be like having a "no glasses" or "no canes" or "no pacemakers" rule disallowing folks who need assistance. Yes, there are limits, especially if the area is dangerous or the dog is disruptive, but generally that dog should be considered to be a tool the human is using.
- URSpider94 6y agoService dogs aren't dogs, they are medical devices. A car used in ride share isn't a private space any longer, it's quasi-public. The law (at least in the USA) is very clear, you can not restrict access of medical devices (whether service dogs or wheelchairs) in businesses.
