In SF a cab refused to take us (a white guy and girl and a 6 month toddler) to Lombard street because it was "2 blocks away". It was in fact 6 blocks away with awful ups and down. I had a really hard 15 - 20 minutes going up and down trying to don't fall with our baby cart.
The 3 times our friend in SF ordered a Uber, it never failed, even though one of these rides was shorter than the one we requested to Lombard St.
To me it's clear who is providing the non-discrimination service and who is not.
- mlrtime 12y agoThat is strange to hear for me. I also always thought that taxi's disliked short rides. However since they receive a fixed amount for all rides, it is actually a good deal for them since they are making more per mile on that small trip.
