They are refusing a disabled person the use of a service they are providing for able bodied people, I am led to believe when you first sign up to the service it does not state that they refuse to provide a service to wheelchair bound people.

Again this service (UBER)is operating in a way TAXI and private hire operators are not allowed too.

UBER in a nutshell (in the UK)

a private hire firm (locally plated cars, no cross border visitors)

a cyber app base op.....no feeding

a local PH ops licence

no show get charged

soiling gets charged

I can see why PH bases have got the jitters
