Uber for PWDs

Getting a regular taxi when you are a PWD is hard, but having a mobility scooter makes it harder. The transport vehicle must at least be a mini-van to fit the mobility scooter and the companions.

Today, we were able to experience a taxi service with no complications. All thanks to Uber!

We booked the uberXL, which is good for 6 people. The car that arrived was an Innova. Upon seeing the situation, the driver quickly folded the back seat as we were assisting my mom to ride. The driver also helped carry the heavy mobility scooter at the back of the car. 

When we arrived, the driver dropped us off near the PWD ramp and also assisted in getting the mobility scooter down. NO complaints, NO asking for additional fees, NO hesitations. Now that's definitely GOOD SERVICE!

I hope Uber will stay for good and more drivers be more like Kuya Ronie. :)

We submitted the picture of the Senior Citizen ID.
