Its pretty disgusting of all the ones who rejected her and well done to the one who finally took her. Shame on all of them as humans, let alone “licenced professionals". It cant add that much to the journey times, especially as they happily sit outside train stations and airports waiting for fares!
Everytime the London black cabbies go on strike or complain about Uber’s business practices, I always cant help but think how much I’ve hated the black cab industry, at least in the UK. I know the Knowledge is difficuly but its also almost useless with technology. Card machines never working, “I’m not going that way", they often dont pick up ethnic minorities, they avoid poorer areas,, questionable route taking to increase fees, not actually knowing roads/addresses, don't help with luggage, dangerous parking and manouvers, racist/sexist “banter". Dont get me wrong, Uber has issues too but I've never looked back.
At least for me it was always just an inconvenience. I cant imagine how frustrating it is for disabled people who have no other option, see these taxis advertising how they are wheelchair accessible are and knowing the law is very clear.
