There is no reason why someone cannot come up with a service to cater to the needs of the disabled. Hence, there is no reason to grant monopoly status just because you agree too.

Uber should not have too. Now I can see granting some exceptions to companies that agree to do so, bus lanes and extra time idling.

We can simply come up with more and more burdens until competition is impossible, its not hard. Everyone can come up with a reason for their need. I do not not discount the needs of the handicap but they are used more for preventing business than facilitating new ones and usually not by those who are actually handicapped

It is very rarely I am disgusted by a sentence but you have achieved it.

Replace disabled with Blacks or Hispanics or Females or any group of society you want.

Seriously, take a pause and consider what you just typed.
