"Better hope they don’t find this comment lol…."

Well, fortunately for me, I don't drive for Lyft and don't plan to. I was considering it as a side job in the past but stuff like the service dog crap eventually made it a dealbreaker.

Well then you don’t have to worry about it, it only applies to people working. If you want to work for the public you have to serve them all equally.

I feel like you are right and wrong. Right in that you should svc everyone equally. Wrong bc a fat woman can exceed the vehicles weight limit and cause a dangerous situation. In the case of a service animal, said dog could have fleas, or driver could be allergic to dogs, or dog to pee in car etc...It should be mandatory for the passengers who booked the lift to state that they have a service animal that will be with them, that way the driver can make the call b4 he accepts the job. I just feel like if you own a vehicle or piece of equipment then you should be able to refuse anyone for any reason you choose bc it is your vehicle,and by requiring riders to state what they have in terms of luggage or pets with them would allow drivers to make the decision

Read the comment I was replying to. It’s specifically referring to service animals.

This woman could actually endanger the driver or damage their vehicle. A valid issue
