I find uberpool less useful, at least for me. I used it only 4 times until now and I ended up saving £3-4 while I ended up making circles around London to get home and all 4 times I got home 20-30 minutes later than uberx would take me. Although I dont use uber to commute to work, only when I am going somewhere on my own times, it seems like your issue is a bit more trivial and it all comes down to property values. I think its very common now in major tech cities like SF, London, NY etc that the rents are too expensive and you have to get out on the suburbs to get something. The UK Gov has already recognised the problem with the housing market and of course its planning on doing something but I don't see anything actual coming out of it in the next 10 years. A great idea for lyft or uber would be judging by your case and thinking your not the only one doing it, to have a "commute to work" service or something similar, where they arrhythmicaly merge people like you that commute from around your location to town etc putting in minibuses with certain stops. The data is there, I mean they can clearly see that you are using Uber at a specific time going from A to B repetitively, if they can find another 15 people doing it around you going to the same place as you, why not put a minibus and then charge you a bit less or a monthly fee? (Of course the downside would be that this would reduce uber jobs around).
