Can taxis refuse to give 20% discount to senior citizens when they have a companion?
A lot of taxi drivers refuse to give my grandmother her discount when she rides the taxi because she has at least one person acting as her aide accompanying her. To avail of the discount they explain that an elderly must be alone. But most of the elderly don’t/can’t travel alone.

There’s no law that states anyone receives a SS discount and if a company does offer it, the rules are up to them.

a lot of the elderly move alone. A discount isn’t something owed to you . It’s a advertising come on.

of course they can. stop using the company, get elder friends to stop using the company. get regular people to stop using the company. tell everyone how they operate, tell the head of the company how you feel, make posters, print signs. complain where it matters.

I’ve never even heard of a senior’s discount for a taxi in any of the places I’ve lived.
If the local company does it, great, but it is their company, and their rules.

i have never understood why seniors think they deserve discount on anything. age is no excuse for preferential treatment for items or service. yes i am a senior of 86 years with more experience than most of you.
