Hi,
I haven't found a way that is accessible for you to be able to track your
actual location but if you keep the Uber app open while you are on the ride it
should keep updating your ETA so you can see that. Also, if you tap on the trip
options but then there is a button to share your ETA. You h

Hi,
In my opinion Uber is much superior to cabs. I won't bore anyone unless someone
asks but I could give several reasons why I think Uber is a much better option
for a blind person than is using a cab. The interface on the iPhone with VO is
very easy to use as well.

Score one for the disrupters, glad to hear your Uber experience was a good one.
I’ve yet to try it but I will the next time the opportunity presents itself.
I’ve heard a lot of good things from both blind Android and IOS users which
sounds like Uber is far superior to cabs in many ways.
Glad
I finally used Uber for the first time! Even with serge pricing, it was way
cheaper than taxis. Had no issues with the dog.
