Neither Uber nor Lyft are really ridesharing. They are ride hailing apps. Unless you are sharing with other passengers? I didn't realise they offered this?

- joshuamorton 7y agoYes, Uber pool and Lyft line both allow you to share with other riders.
- hangonhn 7y agoThey've been doing this for years now. Significant savings that way too.
- stedaniels 7y agoTIL! I always thought they just pretended they were ridesharing because you were sharing with the driver who just happened to be going the way you asked them to. Goes off to see just how prevalent real ridesharing is on the platforms
- amalter 7y agoOnly anecdotal, but Uber Pool is by far the most popular product among my cohort in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Usually you ride with at least one other person, and it’s not unusual to have 3-4 passengers if it’s a third row suv. I enjoy shitting on Uber also, but there is a grain of genuine innovation in the mountain of crap.
