Today Uber is announcing that shared rides are officially coming back to Uber with the launch of UberX Share in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal this week.
Since pausing UberPool in Toronto in 2020 due to the pandemic, Uber have been working tirelessly to revamp the experience. And after months of listening to driver and rider feedback, redesigning, testing, and troubleshooting through various pilots around the globe, the new UberX Share will allow riders to:
- Always save 💲: As their most affordable option, riders will receive an upfront discount of up to 20% if they choose UberX Share. With an Uber One membership, riders get an additional 5% discount.
- Make a sustainable choice 🌎: UberX Share provides a greener way to get from A to B, by moving more people with fewer cars to help your city avoid extra emissions and car travel by sharing your ride.
- Stay on schedule ⏰: Look out the window, not at your watch. On average UberX Share only adds around 6 minutes to your trip when matched.
Shared rides have long been a rider favourite, from the spontaneous singalongs to meeting new friends and other fun chance encounters. To help make the most of the UberX Share experience, Uber is also sharing our top 5 Do’s and Don’ts for riders below:
- Best driver, for real – DO thank and tip your driver for their excellent service. Spread the love!
- No drama, it’s all about the vibe – DO respect your co-rider and driver. Kind people are the best kind of people. Be friendly and open to conversation. You never know if you’ll meet someone new, your next BFF or maybe even a love interest.
- Gotta ride solo – DON’T bring a buddy. One trip request equals one seat.
- No take backs – DON’T ask your driver to change your destination. This helps Uber be mindful of everyone’s ride experience.
- Bestie, you’re not always the main character – DON’T be annoyed if your co-rider—who joined the trip after you—gets dropped off first. It’s about an efficient route; trust the process.
