I can see their point being confied in a wheelchair.  Transportation
for wheelchair bound people isn't cheap.  And often they don't have
it to go very often.  I have a friend who is fortunate enough
to have an accessible Van, but I hear that's becoming a rare even.

However she does do the Uber thing for disabled (she is in wheelchair
can take on board a second person with a wheelchair if they can
physically buckle the chair in.

But are you suffering from a disability that keeps you from using your
own equipment and you have to come to my home and use a braille printer?

I can totally see the disabled's view on this... but I don't think that
a service that involves other people helping people and making a little
moolah on the side should be penalized.

But they may find that ONE judge that will push the lawsuit through :-(
