Introducing a new way to save in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and Manhattan (above 125th Street). Starting on October 25,  you’ll see even more affordable Pool prices in exchange for a short walk .

A short walk at pickup and dropoff on UberPool saves you both time and money. “Pool Options” in your Uber app are pre-set to the walking option. Toggle back to regular Pool to pay a little more for a door-to-door ride.

When you request, you’ll wait a few extra moments so that we can find riders along your route. After we map the best trip, we’ll show you where to meet your driver.

Walking to a corner helps avoid detours and make pickups faster. Walk to your pickup spot before the driver arrives so that no one is kept waiting.

Your trip ends at an efficient dropoff spot picked by Uber, so you’ll walk a short distance to your destination.

When you request a ride, people nearby are trying to go to the same place. We find those riders up front for fewer detours later.

Uber selects a pickup and dropoff spot based on where the driver is coming from and where other riders are going, so everyone enjoys a more direct trip.

More-efficient rides help us keep prices even lower than the cost of UberPOOL.
