[NAGDU] Nashville Media Push Story About Former Uber Driver

[Melissa R Green]

I agree that Uber and lyft are good services.  Yet many people have had 
struggles.  Even the Nfb president and his family were left outside the 
white house because the driver didn't want to take the guide dog.  I know 
lots of people who are Uber drivers that I tell to be sure and take 
service dogs.  And I have heard from a friend in another state that an 
Uber driver charged her a cleaning fee.  For her Guide dog.  I could go on 
and on, but I won't.  I will say that a friend in colorado got a Uber 
driver and this driver was upset that people would be left, because they 
have a guide dog.



Sincerely,
Melissa R Green and Pj

Dar, it is good you have had no problem with Uber. Many people have. Those 
people struggle a little after the experience. We are all glad to have 
Uber I think, but that doesn't erase the fact that there have been 
problems.

I have been taking uber with no problems with my dog.
I personally am glad we have the service.

We went to the count down party.
