Uber is facing another class action lawsuit. The suit alleges that the company does not provide adequately for those with wheelchairs. The company has under 100 wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs) in New York, far too few for the city's disabled population, according to the suit, which was brought by Disability Rights Advocates on behalf of local groups. Despite the existence of UberWAV, a service for disabled passengers, the non-exclusivity of the network means that passengers in need are left waiting as non-disabled riders co-opt the service.
