UberPool Clocks Up 45,000 Trips in London in First Week - From Press Association/ Technology/ The Guardian/ theguardian.com

"New car-pooling service allows passengers to save 25% on standard fare by sharing trip with up to two others.

Around 45,000 trips were made in the first week of Uber’s new taxi-sharing service in London.

UberPool allows up to three passengers to share a car and save money on the standard fare. The scheme was launched by the taxi app service in London on 4 December following success in other major cities around the world.

Uber said almost two-thirds of its London drivers had carried out a shared journey in the last week.

Passengers save 25% compared with the standard uberX fare. Each pick-up is restricted to a maximum of two people, with no more than three passengers in a car at any one time..."
