Uber/ Lyft do not have a disabled service.

Isn't it  great to be able to cherry pick.

Surely our government wont allow a "Taxi Service" of sorts to operate without having some mode of transport for the disabled crew.

Wonder has this been discussed before

I wonder can you order a capper van on Uber?

I think in the New York they have to provide a minimum amount of cover for wheelchair users.

I thought there was mass protest in London a couple of years ago by black cab drivers to stop uber getting in to the U K .Did nothing come of this ?

Uber is massive in the UK.They legally use hacks AFAIK.The protests were the black cabs complaining about the hacks picking up instant e hail jobs on their turf.

Uber is a licensed dispatch operator in Ireland so it has the same obligations (or lack thereof) as every other taxi firm. Unlike Free Now, Uber only uses licensed taxis to cover it's taxi fares in Dublin so it probably has some WATs on it's fleet.

It does use hacks (known as PHVs) in London, MfH. However, they're a cut above run of the mill mini cabs. I used a couple last week myself, selecting the cheapest option i.e. UberX... both were pretty new Mercs, one a diesel/electric hybrid but I believe Priuseyes are also commonly used on it's fleet. I was also in one of the new remodelled TX4s and one of the new(ish) Vito hackney carriages (metered taxis) too... way more space in the Vito, beats the TX4 hands down IMO... surprised it meets the turning circle requirements.
