No, it happened twice to her in two weeks.
The question is, does Uber have training in place on what rights a disabled passenger has? Do they discipline or dismiss drivers who receive disability complaints?
It sounds like Uber's response has been that it has no duty to support or enforce the ADA.
Uber is forcing taxis out of business. One of the reasons that taxis are regulated is that they are bound by law to transport the disabled. If we are going to let Uber put them out of business, then we have to aggressively protect the rights of the disabled.

- dhruvbird 11y agoDo you mean to say that it's okay for private operators to discrimate based on whether their potential client is disabled or not (when it has nothing to do with the safety of the client or the driver)?
- true_religion 11y agoYou're using discriminate in an odd way. Is it discrimination to not set yourself up to be able to provide service for someone because of an additional cost?
- URSpider94 11y agoCan you explain why that would be? In any case, in many locales it's almost entirely unheard of to street-hail a taxi. To name two places I've lived, in Boston and Silicon Valley, you always need to call for a taxi, unless you happen to be staying at a hotel in a downtown area.
- true_religion 11y agoIf taxis do not generally pick up people from the street, then they should not be forced to conform with special regulations designed for taxis that pick up the public on the street. However, they should additionally be barred from picking up clients on the street.
