SF Luxor cabs may have to reduce wheelchair passenger service to stay afloat
From: KTVU Fox 2 - 01/03/2017

Catching a cab in San Francisco can be tough for anyone, but for those in
wheelchairs it can be especially challenging. Just ask Fiona Hinze - she has
cerebral palsy.

"Typically there isn’t a cab in the vicinity. If there is you have to wait a
while," said Hinze.

But the problem could get worse. The Luxor Cab Company is one of the go-to
places for wheelchair-bound people to call in for rides, but Luxor may have
to reduce that service to help stay financially afloat.

Disability rights advocates are concerned.
 
"It is really scary. It is not just you get a ride somewhere else. People
would be really stuck and stranded," said Jessica Lehman of Senior and
Disability Action.
