Uber’s Wheelchair Riders Face Discrimination: NYC Lawsuit  

Disability Rights Advocates filed a lawsuit against the ride-hailing company Uber, claiming the company discriminates against New York City riders who require wheelchairs. So reports the Associated Press.

The lawsuit claims that Uber has fewer than 100 wheelchair-accessible vehicles out of its fleet of 58,000 in the city.
