Reply to comment by BiblioPhil in New York taxi drivers to get first raise in 10 years, riders will pay 23% more by coolguy4206969

I don't think Ubers see passenger information before accepting the ride so, it's harder to discriminate against race. They might see you're going to a typically minority neighborhood and decide not to take the trip, but the way yellow cabs will simply ignore minorities trying to flag them down is not quite the case.

Yes, when they read certain names from certain neighborhoods in the boroughs, they very much cancel. I stumbled upon that discussion on an online forum when googling something related to Uber.
