Many of the bullet points are somewhat vague, but one is strangely specific:

> Prohibiting companies from charging passengers with disabilities higher prices during busy times.

First of all, what constitutes 'disability'?

How will passengers identify themselves as 'disabled' to the apps?

How would the companies store this highly private information? (think medical-info grade, not credit-card grade)

What will indemnify the companies from claims of discrimination, claims possible in light of the companies being aware of users' disabilities, information they never wanted to keep in the first place?

And finally, not to make it the main topic, but who would pay for this? That "surge pricing" you pay is, in turn, being paid to the drivers. The drivers are "chasing the surge'.

I would assume the definition of disabled at play here is related to the equipment of the car e.g. wheelchair lift, or service required e.g. driver getting out of the car to help someone in or out of the car.

So it's not a status but just a per ride assessment -- if you appear disabled when the driver comes to pick you up, he should ask not to receive surge pay for that particular ride?

I interpreted that not as "disabled people don't pay surge pricing" but instead as "disabled people pay the same rate as nondisabled people, even when demand is high."
