uber Unveils Carpooling Service in LA
Uber, which bills itself as “better, faster, and cheaper than a taxi” has a new twist: uberPOOL – a new ride-sharing service in Los Angeles.
In terms of green transit, riders can share the ride and split the cost.
As the company notes, “By using uberPOOL, you’ll not only be reducing the cost of your trip, but also reducing cars on the road by carpooling with other Uber riders. You’ll be connected with people traveling along a similar route, adding only a few minutes to your trip.”
uberPOOL projects that it can help take 500,000 cars off our roads. What’s more, uber is running a promotion in LA to ride for $5 for a limited time.
