Uber Pool, door to door
With Uber Pool, we’re continuing to innovate toward low-cost, reliable mobility and more opportunities for work. By enabling 2 or more riders to share the ride and the cost of a trip, door to door, Uber Pool provides more earning opportunities for drivers, because lower prices help generate more trips.
Waiting and walking for Pool
With Express Pool, riders are expected to wait a few minutes and walk to a nearby pickup location, so we can better match them with other riders. Better matching means more riders share the cost of a trip and everyone pays lower prices. And drivers get more demand, more direct routes, and more convenient pickups.
The goal: back-to-back trips
More time on-trip means more time earning for drivers. Imagine this: the driver picks one rider up, then picks up another, drops off the first passenger, picks up a third, drops off the second, and on and on. For as long as they choose, and as long as riders continue to request trips, drivers keep earning, uninterrupted.
Citywide benefits of shared rides
Sharing rides benefits the entire community. Lower costs can make transportation more accessible, and fewer single-passenger trips can help lead to less congestion on our roads over time. Every day, sharing rides on Uber Pool saves one million miles versus the same number of rides on UberX. That's 2 trips to the moon and back!
