Employers must provide "reasonable accommodation" to those with disabilities.


Employers must provide "reasonable accommodation" to their employeers. Uber drivers are not "Employees" of Uber they are Independent Contractors. The driver has the right to refuse letting anyone in their vehicle. The vehicle is owned/leased by the driver not Uber. Uber has very minimal control and liability when it comes to said vehicle.

Gotta love "disruption" /s


> The driver has the right to refuse letting anyone in their vehicle

Whilst complying with the law. Self employment does not exempt you.

A disabled passenger would have grounds for a case against the "self employed" driver if that driver refused carriage, or did not stop when they saw a service animal.

> The vehicle is owned/leased by the driver not Uber

As are many (most?) taxis and private hire vehicles.
