Uber's new carpooling service to hit the streets on July 1

Fares are around 25 cents cheaper.

Uber will launch its uberPOOL ride-sharing service in Singapore on July 1, a move that will allow drivers to pick up and drop off multiple riders going in the same direction.

The company said that the service will provide more riders with more trips and create greater efficiency on the road by matching riders headed in the same direction.

uberPOOL fares are around 25 cents cheaper than its normal service, uberX.

The service has a 2-minute waiting policy for riders. The maximum number of riders that a driver can take in a single pickup is two people, and riders are not allowed to change or add destinations in the middle of the journey.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
