Reasons2POOL: Take one step forward with Uber

One year ago, we launched uberPOOL in Chennai with the vision to decongest Chennai.  Not only has uberPOOL been up to 50% cheaper than uberGO, but also it has helped get more people into fewer cars—making it a good option for people’s wallets and our city. We’re excited to share the beginning of the impact we’ve made-
Together, we’ve saved 34,60,000 Litres of petrol and helped reduce 2600 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions.

How can you contribute to a better environment and a better city?
Start with the little things today—be it pooling to work, avoiding plastic bags or recycling waste.  Let’s take #OneStepForward, together. We at Uber believe in the ideology of Do more. Drive Less.  

Forget about the hassles of owning a car or driving around for your daily commute needs and POOL your way through Namma Chennai. 

Here are top few reasons we think you should switch to POOL:

• It is the most economical option. Use POOL and save big! 
• POOL-ing your way to college or work helps you meet interesting co -riders and increase your network in the city. 
• Too much traffic? You will never get bored through your travel time. 
• POOL helps us decongest the roads of city and improve the environment conditions.
• One shared ride can replace up to 13 private cars.

Here are top stories by power riders who have switched to POOL:
