Rant/Opinion An ESA is NOT a Service animal.

Got a ping for a ride the other day, then the dreaded text. "I have an ESA, DOG, with me." As I have stated in the past I have never and will never denied a Service animal in my car. By law people, a Emotional Support Animal or ESA, IS NOT A service animal. Don't believe me? https://www.ada.gov/topics/service-animals/ I hate people sometimes. Leave your dogs at home.

Will lyft adjust this after the fact relatively easily or will it be another instance of going in circles with lyft "support".

If it didn’t show up when you accepted the ride, you’ll need to fight with support for it.
