DOJ sues Uber for overcharging disabled riders
The U.S. Justice Department initiated action against Uber over allegations it has been overcharging riders with disabilities. Uber has been charging passengers ‘wait time’ fees.
The DOJ says it violates the Americans with Disabilities Act. The department wants the court to order Uber to compensate riders charged the fees and revise the wait time fee policy.
"Uber cannot penalize passengers with disabilities simply because they need more time to get into a car," said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division
