Hi Jed, May I suggest that you contact the Federal Transportation Authority for more information? I know in our area, it really depends on who you are whether that rule is inforced. Good Luck.

So i'll tell you all about why i am using lift and uber more. I was basicly forced into it. My ADA ride service decided to pull a fast 1. When i moved into my house 4 years ago, they told me that i was in a good location for the ride. Conveeniently 3 months later, they changed the bus routes, so it made my home no longer able to get ADA service. I basicly threw at them, so how am i supposed to get to work? They decided to honor it. So now they hit me yesterday where if i wanna go any place other than work i have to meet the ride at a certainly location. So now it's a case of now i have to get a ride to get ride. Makes a lot of sense, right? Anyone else delt with anything similar, and what course of action do we have? Jeez, it's hard enough getting around for any of us. Cheers, Jed On 9/6/17, Jeff Clark <jeffclark...@comcast.net> wrote: > Hi, > I do think Lyft and Uber are about the same.
