UberX Share allows sharing one ride with other users, which drives the costs down by as much as 30%, local Uber officials said.
“There are more than 1.5 million cars in Bucharest, with only one person riding in them most of the time. Under the circumstances, we are happy to launch a product we have been considering for a long time. UberX Share is the most affordable Uber product, as well as the only one that allows several users to reach their destination by sharing the same ride. The new Uber product will provide more affordable, sustainable rides to users in Bucharest and help decongest traffic in the city,” said Ana-Maria Bolovan, head of operations for Central and Eastern Europe with Uber.
To use the new Uber product, users need to open the Uber app as usual, input the destination and then select UberX Share from the list of options.
