Uber is launching a cheaper new carpool option for the rush hour crowd

Uber plans a significant expansion of its UberX Share service across the UK by the end of June 2025, excluding London initially.
This expansion follows a successful trial in Bristol and addresses demand for more affordable travel amid economic pressures and rising costs.
UberX Share enables passengers to save up to 20% by sharing rides with strangers on similar routes, adding no more than eight minutes to journey times.
Andrew Brem, Uber's UK general manager, described the expansion of UberX Share as a significant advancement for cost-effective and eco-friendly transportation, highlighting its role in lowering traffic congestion and emissions.
The rollout could reduce the number of vehicles on roads and lower emissions, supporting Uber's broader goals of sustainable urban mobility in the UK.
