New York passengers traveling a similar route can now save money by sharing a ride through Uber’s new carpooling service, UberPool. The company announced Thursday that the service is now available 24/7 in all five boroughs, making New York the third city (after San Francisco and Paris) to adopt UberPool.
On the bright side, this could mean saving 20-50% per ride, while adding only a few minutes to transit time. On the dark side, the road from Manhattan to Brooklyn could feel mighty long when shared with a “new friend.”
