Yikes, to equivocate the impact of taxes and regulations to that of comedy clubs, I can’t imagine being so naive.

I still have a difficult time understanding how increased homelessness is not a direct result of increased taxes and regulations. The data presented corroborates as much and though correlation doesn’t mean causation, correlation certainly doesn’t indicate a lack of causation either. We go to great lengths to justify the results when the simplest explanation is staring right at you.

Re:Justice Department sues Uber for overcharging people with disabilities

What comes to mind is the fact that the prevalence of adults with a disability in the United States is significantly higher in rural areas compared to large metropolitan areas and those rural areas are already underserved by commuting options given the current model.
To your point that they are more financially limited — that is the reason why disability benefits exist.

How many markets will be too small to be worthwhile after prices increase? I would wager it would be more than the contrary

This is 100% false because I know for a fact if there was no other taxi company providing services to the disabled I would start my own company for the disabled today.

Poor and handicap people will suffer more so from a price hike resulting from your suggestion — disabled people should just pay more because (1)they are taking up more time to service and (2)they receive benefits that everyone else doesn’t to compensate for such scenarios. The way it is currently setup is likely the most optimal configuration for all parties involved.
