Hi. I think Morgantown has a terrible  public transport system 

If it is one in West Virginia   So uber has a great scope to exist and  
persist. Sieghard is in Canada  where Uber may have different kind of 
challenges than they have in your city.

  Hi.  i  use Uber all the time and absolutely love it. You can sign up for an 
account right through the app no need to go to any websites. Just wondering 
what do you mean right now they face a real threat? Like do you see them 
completely  going away? Here in Morgantown they are really really popular  with 
the college students.

    I have used Uber a few times in Calgary and a few drivers didn't seem 
thrilled, but I think they were a bit afraid of my dog. I reassured them that 
he was very friendly and it was OK, but I usually call the driver (easy to do 
from the app after you confirm your ride) and tell them that I am blind and 
have a guide dog. For one thing when I'm at a mall or other large building it 
is better to call anyways to make sure they come to the right door, yes, the 
GPS will give the address/location, but if I'm at a big mall it won't do the 
driver much good to know that I'm at such and such mall. You may not be legally 
obligated to let them know you have a dog, but I think there is nothing wrong 
with telling them out of curtocy and I guess there is always a chance a driver 
is truely allergic in which case it's better if they know in advance and can 
decline the ride.
    On another note I think I am going to not use Uber again for now anyways 
because while I had good experiences with the individual drivers, I do not at 
all agree with their business practices and right now it looks like they may 
face a real existential thread so until they decide to get their act together 
I'll go back to taking a taxi. I know it is easier to boycott them if you 
rarely need to use them anyways and for others this may not be an option, but I 
only get to use Uber when I'm in Calgary and there is talk that they will be in 
Vancouver by the end of this year, but in my small town our single cab company 
where the owner drives along with 3 or 4 others she employs they can hardly 
make a living and I'm sure Uber is a long time away from being here.

    Sieghard

    Hey guys,

    I am about to start using Uber.  Question, how have you found a lot of the 
drivers with guide dogs?  I figured most of them are probably pretty good but 
wanted to ask.  How do you guys usually handle it?

    Cheers,
    Jed
