<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">They have to give to the AAC (which Queen is on) a report about missed trips and no-shows. I don’t think it was generally broken down by cabs or regular contractors. That is a statistic we need to have. It
sounds as if this same-day service is different from the normal MetroAccess, and you would know that’s what you were doing when you ordered it, and you would hopefully understand that’s what you were doing. I know when I call a cab that my body had better
be outside or it might leave me—although cabs are routinely calling before they come these days. Nothing I have read says that Uber will be doing regular MetroAccess trips. Nevertheless, if MetroAccess is managing it, it is in violation of the NFB of Maryland
resolution.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">How can we trust this to go into effect, when some of the cab drivers, now, will not go to the door and let a blind person know they are there. They either do not go at all or do not go to the door and put you down as a no show, in both
cases.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They were supposed to put on my record, no cabs, but when I change my pick up, related to work, then they think they can use a cab. Once in a while, they do use a cab anyway.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Action is the most reliable for coming to find the client.<o:p></o:p></p>
