Remember the times of sharing an Uber ride with a complete stranger? Well, they’re back! It may seem like it was forever ago, but shared rides are back again with UberX Share.
Starting this week rides in cities across the U.S. will be able to save money on their rides with UberX Share.
“I took a shared ride for an hour-long commute from Chicago to Schaumburg late at night 1 AM to 2 AM…it saved me a ton of money and literally more and more people piled in at different points…it felt like a party bus!” says Diana from Chicago, IL.
Uber says, “Since pausing shared rides in 2020, our teams have been working tirelessly to revamp the experience.”
