TC was a Karen with Uber and people are arguing over ADA lol.

The issue was TC ordered an Uber for their dad who was not ready to be picked up so when Uber arrived, the dad was not able to make it to the pick up spot in time. Thus the charge. The responsibility falls on the person who ordered the Uber and the person who is getting picked up.

Except they just lost a lawsuit over that, so the US government seems to think that is the fault of Uber.

And for those debating ITT, I found another lawsuit where they were sued by people with electric wheelchairs that wouldn't fold up. The judge ruled that not having universal Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (a service they do provide in some places) didn't violate ADA.

Chief Judge Richard Seeborg of the federal court in San Francisco agreed, ruling that the plaintiffs provided scant evidence that Uber could run a cost-effective wheelchair-accessible service in either city. Even if Uber spent the money to launch wheelchair-accessible services, wait times for disabled passengers would be significant, Seeborg wrote.
