Legally blind woman refused 23 Uber rides in six weeks due to guide dog discrimination

Victorian woman Kathryn Beaton says repeated, illegal denials of service from drivers refusing to allow her guide dog into their vehicles have left her effectively housebound.

i think ride share drivers should be able to discriminate against who or what enters their vehicle because it is privately owned. same way stores can deny service to individuals.

Nobody pays any mind to air quality and it’s made my life a whole lot more difficult than it needs to be.

Anyway, i feel for her, but i think the service animal stuff is way over simplified and people forget that other people with disabilities also pay a cost.

This is true. Those that do not actually require a service animal for actual valid reasons like this trash it for those who do.
