At least they have the right to know, before they arrive at a home whether a dog will be riding in their private  vehicle.  It is the courteous thing to let them be aware of this   I suppose, the Uber customer would have the option to also choose not to let the driver know this?

A lot of people thought this was a great idea. Of course, I had to jump in and tell them that is a terrible idea.  Discrimination is discrimination no matter what form it takes.
