Uber has agreed to pay over $2 million to users who claimed they were discriminated against because of disabilities.
As part of the settlement with the Department of Justice announced Monday, the San Francisco-based company agreed to waive wait time fees for users with disabilities as well as compensate customers who weren't given the waiver option in the past.
The Justice Department alleged that Uber violated the Americans With Disabilities Act by making users pay a fee if they took longer than two minutes to reach their Uber driver. The lawsuit argues that this made users with disabilities feel like "second-class citizens."
