uberPOOL Ride-Sharing services launched in Delhi

American Online Cab aggregator Uber has now introduced its ridesharing services dubbed the uberPOOL in Delhi. It's worth noting that the ride sharing service was first launched in Bengaluru a few months back.

The uberPOOL service allows riders to share their ride on Uber with another person who is also requesting a ride along the same route. This new feature in turn is expected to reduce the surge pricing which has been plaguing the online cab services in the National Capital region for some time now. Using the uberPOOL services riders can save about 10-30% of their ride charges (as compared with uberGO).
