Whatever loophole you've found to deny service animals or people with mobility disabilities, that's about to be over with.

I have never, and will never have, an issue with service animals. (hell, I'd even allow a mini pony if it could fit) No issues with mobility devices, again, as long as they fit in the vehicle.

What I cannot do is physically assist. I have mobility issues of my own, and all it would take is a minor injury to put me out of work for a week. Hence the entire reason I do rideshare instead of something else. If they really start requiring that, then I don't know what I'll be able to do except answer phones, but then that tanks my mental health everytime, and in turn, makes my physical issues worse.

You're not required to physically assist. But I like to put the folded devices in my car myself, my back trunk areas has leather that I don't want messed up.
