Uber announces a new type of ride that travels on a fixed route, comes every 20 minutes, includes two other passengers, and costs 50 % less than Obravs ride. In other words, one bus.
For years, Uber and his little rival have been the left Gently joking online To release the product occasionally Which closely resembles Public transport. It is likely that with the issuance of the route share, it has a fixed route car service under which the customer needs to run a few minutes in the default pickup space, and then to his exact destination. This service will be available only in selected cities and only during the morning and evening travel.
But I am sorry to tell you that Uber has already heard all your jokes and Uber has just made comments about invention. And unless the last product is not well liked and cheap than its other ride heel services, it seems that the last purpose is.
In an interview, Ober’s product chief Sachin Konsel says, “We are the fulfillment of public transit.” “We consider it as a journey towards the lower and lower car ownership, because people transfer themselves from the use of products like Uber share and now root share.”
Root Share is being announced during Uber’s annual Get/Get Product EventIn which the Ride Hill Company unveils new features for its rental vehicle and food supply apps. This year’s event is created around the topic of cheapness. And the route share, with its extra pedestrian and limited availability, is the cheapest ride of Uber to this day.
The company says it will be 50 % less expensive for taking Obrics. Uber Upper offers an example of a ride from West Side to Manhattan’s Lower East Side: While the Uberx travels will usually cost $ 38, the root share version will return you only $ 19.
“People are feeling the more uncertain,” Kansal said. “They are seeing that prices grow in different spheres of their lives. And it is definitely creating some problems. “
Uber has been down this route even before (no pin intended), asked consumers to wait a little or move a little further in exchange for cheap fares. The Uber Pool was the first attempt to persuade the riders to sacrifice a little convenience for more efficient rider sharing, but this service faced poor planning, unrealistic expectations and lack of proper driver access. Kansal says its current repetition, Uber share is roaming around 1 million rides a month.
The route shares will be available during the weekly travel hours (6-10am and 4-8 pm local time) in New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, Boston and Baltimore. Other cities will be included in the future. And starting from today, riding in these cities can choose the option to look at the nearest routes with pickups every 20 minutes – and book any schedule for seven days to 10 minutes from the pickup.
Uber is also announcing a new Price Lock feature, in which a user can lock up to 10 routes for just 99 2.99 a month at a certain price. If a clear price is lower than the locked price, consumers will get this price lower. Kansal says this feature is for users who use Uber frequently for the same trip and want to make some predictions in their payment. This new feature is available in Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, Nash Will, Orlando, Phoenix, San Francisco, Washington DC, and soon in the rest of the country and Brazil.
Even more exemptions, WHO, who know that they are going to make a fixed trip in a month – anything from five to 20 rides – can now pay a low rate for these visits. The riders can expect up to 15 % discount when purchasing a prepaid pass.
On the side, Uber is finally disclosing his partnership with the open table. The restaurant reservation app will be integrated into the Uber app to keep a table safe and make car reservation in a restaurant. Booked riders through open table integration will also be exempted. And Uber One Subscribers will have access to special food companies that are not open to everyone. And for grocery orders, Uber Ets users can now use a new slider feature to identify how much money they want to save, which indicates the app to find a common product that can be cheaper than name brand items.
Together, Kansal says the announcements of these products will help cut some of them through the use of Uber – especially at a time when people are worried about growing costs.
“The fact of the matter is that people who are traveling on our platform on a daily basis are not just businessmen who are on the airport and business journey,” he said. “Everyday workers are traveling on our platform, shift workers are traveling on our platform, nurses (and) restaurants are traveling on our platform.”
