WASHINGTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) – The US Justice Department sued Lyft on Monday, alleging the ride-hailing services provider discriminated against passengers with disabilities, including those who use service animals and mobility devices such as stowable wheelchairs.
The lawsuit seeks $53 million for individuals with disabilities who Lyft allegedly discriminated against, and who have submitted complaints to Lyft or the Department of Justice, the DOJ said in a statement.
