Uber&amp;#x27;s ADA issues go beyond the scope of this lawsuit. Uber would consistently lie about the availability of a WAV vehicle, showing one as being nearby with low wait. Then when I would order it, either nothing was available or the wait time was completely insane. I never successfully hailed one.</text></comment>

I see a similar issue in what I consider mistreatment of delivery workers.  There have been delivery services and transport services for disabled&amp;#x2F;elderly for a while now.  People have been replacing them with gig workers and I&amp;#x27;m not exactly sure who to blame or feel sorry for.&lt;p&gt;A post a while ago on reddit was someone who was complaining about a doordasher who didn&amp;#x27;t want to wait and bring like multiple bags of cat litter like up 3 flights of stairs.  The amount of inconsiderate abuse people have towards them (making them wait, navigate buildings) is a poor allocation of resources.</text></comment>
