Ride share drivers are independent contractors, but basically, you can consider them driving you as the service they’re providing and their car as that place of service that they’re providing it in so they have to follow ADA guidelines. Some drivers may not be up to speed on what that entails or again, they just may not care.
As far as the other thing, there’s a time and place for everything. Just because I would go somewhere, didn’t mean I wanted to take my dog. It might get stressed out. You may not be able to pay the proper attention to it. Perhaps the hoast of the party or a member of the household is allergic or scared of dogs or they simply don’t like dogs. I wouldnt’ consider that to be an unreasonable request out of hand.

I would have thought because the car was privately owned the driver didn’t come under the same laws as taxi cabs. I guess I thought this because when I worked at the Pentagon many times co-workers would have a party and some of them asked me not to bring my guide to the party. Needless to say I did not attend the party at their home.

From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Cristóbal Sent: Friday, January 23, 2015 2:09 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Uber app Probably not more risky than entrusting yourself to the services of a regular taxi driver. All in all my Uber/Lyft experiences have been fine. You get the occasional character, but nothing that would have made me feel uncomfortable. Then again, I’m 6-2 and 240 pounds. So I can appreciate the concern of a woman traveling by herself. Remember, you can rate your driver and if you give them a low rating, you won’t’ be pared with that driver again or at least that is how it’s supposed to work.

Has anyone on the list had any issues like assaults or whatever? As a senior totally blind woman saving a couple of bucks is not worth taking unsafe rides. Is there any thing to these rumors or am I just being overly cautious? Marie _____ <http://www.avast.com/> This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
