The Department of Justice is suing Uber over allegations it discriminates against disabled people by overcharging them when drivers have to wait for passengers to board their vehicles.

In a press release on Wednesday, the DOJ said it had filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the ride-hailing company for charging “wait time” fees to passengers who, because of disability, need more time to enter a car.
