Schedule rides in advance

uberPOOL launches in Boulder

January 19, 2017 / Boulder

New cars hit the streets of Boulder every day and for each of us that means more traffic and more pollution. That kind of congestion makes it harder to get around and the resulting pollution undermines everyone’s quality of life.

It’s why we’re excited to launch our uberPOOL service in Boulder. uberPOOL enables people going to the same place at the same time to share the journey. It’s all about getting more butts into fewer cars. This means cheaper rides for passengers and less congestion over time.

HOW TO POOL

Enter your pickup location and destination alongwith how many seat you will need.
Select “Share Your Car” and tap “Request POOL” – your fare will be guaranteed upfront!
You’ll see your driver’s details straight away – name, photo and the details of the car. As with uberX, these drivers have undergone an extensive screening process.
uberPOOL will then match you with another passenger heading in the same direction:
- That passenger will either be in the car at the start of your trip, in which case you’ll see their name in advance; or
- Your driver will pick them up along the way, in which case Uber will notify you via the app.
Whether you’re first or second into the car, you should never be taken more than a few minutes out of your way.
At the end of your trip, your credit card will be charged just like normal.
