Trip requests in your city now show you the fare and pickup and dropoff locations up front, putting more information in your hands.
But what if you could also have even more options to choose from?
Trip Radar is a new feature that gives you and other drivers a chance to see and select UberX and Uber Go requests happening nearby. Trip Radar shows you extra options—you’ll continue to get individual requests, too.
How Trip Radar works

					
				
Find requests
When you’re not on a trip, you may see an alert for Trip Radar. Tap on it to check out a selection of UberX and Uber Go requests happening nearby.

					
				
Pick requests
You can then tap on any requests you’re interested in and select as many favourites as you want.

					
				
Get a match
Since other drivers will have access to the list too, you won’t get all of your picks. Matching is aimed at minimising average wait times for drivers and riders. But, the more you tap, the more likely you are to match with an option you really want.
