Your trips in May are only $2 when you purchase a POOL Pass, a new pilot program we’ve improved based on feedback from people who participated in April.
You spoke up and we listened. We’ve removed the time-of-day and weekday restrictions. Now, you can use the pass to take uberPOOL trips anywhere within the (expanded!) zone, any day of the week, at any time!
Your trips will always be a flat $2, even in times of high demand. We lowered the price of the pass to $75, which means you’ll pay less than $4 per trip when factoring in the price of the pass. We’ve expanded the sales window so you have more time to consider buying one, but there are a limited number of passes available, so snag yours before they’re all claimed. You can purchase a pass in the Uber app Wednesday 4/27 – Friday 4/29 from 9am to 7pm.
This pilot program will continue to evolve, and we will request your feedback to help it improve. Thanks for helping us innovate and provide more options to help you move around Boston.
