Everything Uber does—ride hailing, food delivery—is a feature of its service, not the service itself. This approach allows the company to roll out new services without fanfare, like it did in introducing UberPool to the Las Vegas market November 15.
Similar to Lyft Line, UberPool allows you to split the cost of a ride. Simply open Uber and select UberX. A driver will pick you up, then collect another rider with a destination close to yours—and you’ll both save up to 50 percent of a normal UberX trip. The only caveats are your trip will take slightly longer—only a few minutes, they promise—and your driver will only wait two minutes for you before heading off to find another rider somewhere. Tardiness is a bug, not a feature.
