The problem with shared trips, I think, is that customers just don't want them in any great quantities. They don't want to be in very close quarters with rando

The problem with shared trips, I think, is that customers just don't want them in any great quantities. They don't want to be in very close quarters with randos. They don't want to wait while someone else gets picked up or dropped off.

Maybe for shared rides , UBER should only assign vehicles that, allow people to sit with enough personal space,wider, for example a minivan, but make sure the middle seat is empty. That, combined with a culture of phone staring may make the experience neutral ? >> They don't want to wait while someone else gets picked up or dropped off. Most of the complaints on twitter are on the first problem you mentioned. So maybe solving it would make the service "good enough" , for the more cost-consious custuomers, and that's a big market.
