Shared rides. Shared moments.

We launched uberPOOL in Delhi about two months ago. The idea was simple: users share a ride — and the cost — with other people who request a ride along a similar route. Since then, hundreds of thousands of Delhiites have shared their rides, saved money, helped cut down emissions, but more importantly, shared moments on the go.

When you request for an uberPOOL ride, we match you with a rider heading in the same direction — realtime. The magic happens when you get matched with a long lost friend, a recruiter (yes, this happened) or a colleague who you’d never met in office.

People share their uberPOOL moments with us all the time, through emails, Twitter and Instagram. While some share their love for savings:

I just saved ₹ 84.40 by riding uberPOOL in New Delhi. Ride uberPOOL — share your ride, split the cost.
