ADA non-compliant vehicles as well. Disabled passengers cannot ride an Uber most of the time. It has been difficult to sue Uber though.

I've had a leg immobilizer and crutches for a bit now. People keep telling me I should uber/lyft around to be more mobile but I can't easily do that. My two choices are to sit lengthwise across the back seat after a lot of work scooting in or to get in the front with the seat all the way back. Both will annoy a lot of drivers and trash my rating.

It's been pretty eye opening.

I'm tall, and when I use Lyft I typically sit in the front and move the seat back. Hasn't been a problem.

Huh, wonder if someone succeeded. In Seattle we have ADA compliant Uber as an option, and the price is set to zero.
