I am amazed that Uber still exists.
Of course a blind woman was refused rides. Their goal is to be a taxi service minus that ignores the regulations that were added to taxi services for a reason.
As a large healthy white male I know I could probably use Uber safely, but I refuse to support a business that makes rides much worse and more dangerous for those that are more vulnerable. Taxis seem bad enough with the oversight in place.
- xmprt 6y agoWhile I agree that Uber could have done more here, I'm not sure why you think taxis would be better. If 14 individual yellow cab taxis refused to pick up a passenger, it wouldn't be a story. Apps can also track your location for safety, allow you to report drivers, and help you get picked up from anywhere (instead of having to risk going to a busy street where taxis might roam). The way I see it, Uber is super helpful for people with disabilities.
