If a car is too small to accommodate  a dog by adjusting the seats, then I
would consider that car too small for use as a taxi. Also, although there
are large service dogs, I don't think that there are any that are so big
that they would not fit places. If there is not enough room in the back
seat, then I sit in the passenger seat in the front seat with Lexia in
between my legs.

I have a question about not identifying, though.  What if I request a ride
from Lyft or Uber, or even a regular taxi, and they show up in a very small
car that my dog will not fit into? 
This could happen especially with very large dogs.  And what happened to the
concept of choice? By this, I mean that people should have the choice to
disclose or not to disclose, as they 
see fit.    Peace,    Debby and Neena
