Taxi driver refuses to take passengers guide dog because of his religious beliefs

The passenger was with his girlfriend when he was told by a taxi driver he couldn't take his guide dog for religious reasons. It's the second time this year Mr Bloch has been refused a taxi because of his dog but this time his girlfriend shared a video of it on social media. The taxi firm admitted their driver broke the law and has since sacked him. Under the Disability Discrimination Act, it's illegal for a private hire vehicle to refuse to take a disabled person because they have an assistance dog. Callers Gursheena and Ali, who is a private hire car driver, share their views with Nihal.
