Today, we’re thrilled to introduce a new, innovative carpool option: uberPOOL. We’ll connect you with someone traveling the same way so you can share your ride and split the cost—making your fare up to 70% cheaper than a Boston TAXI. There’s never been a cheaper way to Uber.

SHARE THE RIDE, SPLIT THE COST

Our vision for uberPOOL is simple: Make rides more affordable than ever and reduce the number of cars on the road. When 2 people going the same way combine trips and divide costs, that’s one less car on the road and a cheaper fare for both riders.

What are you waiting for? Try uberPOOL today.

HOW TO POOL:

Select the uberPOOL option at the bottom of your app Set your pickup and drop-off locations You’ll be quoted a guaranteed fare before you request, so you know exactly what you’re going to pay Request! You might get matched with another person going the same way, adding a few minutes to your trip. Regardless of whether you’re matched or not, your fare will always be less than uberX

THE DETAILS
