Uber for Wheelchair Users

<p>I&rsquo;m relatively new to using a wheelchair on a part-time basis, so despite my extensive use of forearm crutches while traveling, I recently took my first long-distance trip with my chair.</p> <p>There wasn&rsquo;t much that went into the decision since I didn&rsquo;t felt that I had another viable option.
