[Nfbc-info] new Uber policy may more discrimination

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
Thanks. So far I've been a little leary of trying them. Mostly because I
wouldn't know them unless I found one good one that I could ride with often.
I can't use Uber at work because their drivers are not cleared to come on
base. 
Thanks,
Lauren

Hi Loren,

One item that you may not be aware of with Uber, is that you do not open the
App until you are ready.

It is very easy to locate the drivers.  When the App lets me know they have
arrived and no one pulls up, I contact the driver and ask him where he or
she is If the driver is in front of me I request he or she to call out to me
with his voice.  I have his or her first name and he or she has mine.

I hope this helps you!

Joy

Earlier this week I heard on the news that Uber is test piloting a new
policy in four major U. S. Cities outside of California. Essentially, you've
got two minutes to find the Uber car or  the driver can cancel the ride;
leave and you get charged. This evening I received an email from Uber. Uber
is instituting this same practice with Uber Pool in San Diego. 

 

I am wondering if this new practice intended to encourage punctuality will
work against blind and visually impaired passengers and individuals who
cannot move quickly. 

 

From,

Lisa Irving
