reasonable accommodations...?

Blind people take more cabs than sighted people (duh). Riders by definition need to get somewhere, and PWDs are more vulnerable when left alone. I get that. I know how many immigrant small business owners behave towards customers, and cabbies are notorious.

In any profession other than driving, employers in the US would be required to make reasonable accommodations for religion and disabilities. A well-designed app could literally eliminate discrimination while making room for (a small percentage of) animal-free drivers; however, even someone who is certifiably severely allergic is defined as "unable to do the job".

The ADA, of all things, is excluding people with disabilities in a way that happens to preferentially impact Muslim immigrants. Keep an eye on who funds any lawsuits.
