<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:large">I have enjoyed using Uber in multiple cities and have found it to be a great experience. I can easily use the app with voice over. I really appreciate being able to communicate with the driver to let them know my specific location especially if I'm on a college campus. I have had no access issues with my guide dog which is a huge contrast to the experiences with local cab companies. The prices I've seen with Uber are about 75-80% cheaper than cab companies. I have pretty much ave stopped using MetroAccess and cabs and utilize Uber for my particular needs. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:large">I have not used Lyft. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:large">Thanks, </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:large">Denna</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 2, 2015 at 7:55 AM, Maurice Peret via NFBMD <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nfbmd@nfbnet.org" target="_blank">nfbmd@nfbnet.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">I was originally partial to LYFT and couldn’t understand why so many of our colleagues preferred UBER. Lately, I’m sad to say, LYFT has been a major disappointment. Too many times now I have heard back from drivers
who claimed they were too far away, necessitating my having to cancel the ride, or the app got stuck on, say, 9 minutes ETA without budging. This was a hassle especially when my destination was time sensitive. In another unfortunate instance, when Lou Ann
and I were to catch a train well before the crack of dawn, we were actually billed for a ride that never took place. I had no trouble in getting refunded but how crazy is that? UBER appears to have pulled out in front in terms of reliability, customer service,
and probably even price, despite surge pricing. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
