I have taken about 135 Uber rides in the past 11 months and have had no 
problems.
I have had fast, courteous service thus far.

Subject: Re: Gonna give Uber a try for the first time this week

Uber is currently being sued by blind people in California for among other 
things that include refusing a ride because someone had a guide dog or drivers 
placing guide dogs in the car trunk.  The company is fighting the lawsuit, 
insisting that accessibility laws do not apply to technology companies.  a 
judge has dismissed Uber's claims and the lawsuit is going forward.

I often call my driver and inform him that I am blind shortly before he 
arrives.  I ask the driver to look for me with my white cane and announce 
themselves or beep their horn so I can find their car and know they have 
arrived.
