Uber Chronicles

Brian Kruse is like no one you’ve ever met. He is a learned, sardonic, articulate professor,

who knows more about music, politics, writing, philosophy, whatever…than you.

He is also blind and takes a lot of Uber rides. These are his stories–raw and uncensored.

March 10, 2018

Uber Chronicles: Talking So Well

January 8, 2018

Had a Bad Day...

July 6, 2018

Sometimes I feel like my blindness makes me invisible to Uber drivers as they have the tendency to drive right past me even though I’m the only person standing where they are supposed to pick up and I’m holding a phone.

Maybe they just assume that they won’t have a blind passenger and, if they just travel on a little further, they’ll find the able-bodied passenger they were supposed to meet.
