After two long years under health restrictions, Uber is regaining self-confidence and is once again offering its service which allows you to share a ride with other customers to spend less money. Formerly Uber Pool, now UberX Share.
New start for the service Uber Pool. After being abruptly stopped in March 2020 following the arrival of covid-19, it is making a comeback for the start of the 2022 school year and it is getting a brand new name in addition to system optimization.
As a reminder, Uber Pool allows you to pay less for your trip but in return, it is possible that the driver makes a few detours to take other users who are going in the same direction as you.
baptized UberX Share, it generally uses the same codes as its pre-pandemic predecessor. By allowing other customers to ride in the same vehicle as you, you can reduce the final price of your trip by around 10% on average. Note that the longer the stroke, the greater the reduction. An interesting way to avoid public transport without spending too much money or to make an “ecological gesture” by sharing your means of transport. A kind of more luxurious carpooling.
On the restrictions side, Uber specifies that it is still impossible to order an UberX Share and be accompanied, which is actually quite logical. If there are several of you, you will have to select another option.
The service has obviously had the right to some small additional optimizations. From now on, you no longer need to walk to a specific point to find your driver. It is he who comes directly to us, like with an UberX.
A new, smarter and above all more pleasant system for everyone. The driver has no problems finding you and customers save time and effort. Interestingly, Paris is the first European city to benefit from this new option on the Uber application.
