Uber as a back up transportation option
Uber is a fairly new company that offer the same services as a normal cab, but with better pricing and more convenience ways to schedule it. Transitional cabs can only be called to get in touch, but Uber drivers can reach by their app if you own a smart phone, on their website, text messages, etc.
Also their fees are more reasonable than calling a cab, and by inputing your pick up area and destination, the Uber app will give you an estimated fare about the trip, as well as the time that needed to travel to your destination.
Another great features about Uber is they are currently expending and updating their fleets by adding more wheelchair accessibility vehicles, and hopefully providing the necessary training to their drivers to increase the awareness of disability individuals.
