Uber has launched a carpooling service in Delhi. The company has announced that UberGo will now be a carpooling first product.
Selecting the carpool option will connect users real-time with 1-2 passengers heading in the same direction. Uber claims that shared rides are up to 30% cheaper than traveling solo on UberGO.
How does it work for riders?
How does it work for drivers?
Drivers have to sign into the app and tell Uber where they are going. Uber will then show them requests from riders who are traveling in the same direction as well as the payment they will receive for the trip. The drivers can then decide whether to accept the request or not. Riders have to select UberGO, input their destination and the systems match them with a driver going the same way.
Steps for users who want to start sharing their cars:
At present the carpooling service is available between 7 am and 9 pm, all 7 days of the week. Carpool trips can be requested from and to most parts of Central, South & West Delhi, Gurgaon and some parts of NOIDA.
