Uber tests new carpooling service in China |
September 23, 2015
Riders in Chengdu, China will be able to cut travel costs by using a new carpooling service that Uber Technologies is testing in the country for the global market.Using UberCommute, drivers sign into the app and tell Uber where they are going, the ride-hailing app company announced in a blog post Tuesday. The app then shows the driver requests from riders traveling in the same direction as well as the payment they will receive for the trip. The driver then decides whether to accept the request or not.While all this may appear similar to the company's UberPool service, already in operation in many locations, UberCommute is designed to give an opportunity for commuting drivers to reduce costs on routine trips, company spokesman Karun Arya wrote in an email.
