Uber at least always shows you both Pool and X trip times and prices at the same time when ordering. This at least gives every X passenger the opportunity to consider a Pool trip first.

Yes but why would you choose it? It's the most awkward experience I've ever had in my life

[exhilaration]

Because sometimes it's close to half the price? Some of us like saving $5 or $10 per ride.

Some people have less money and a higher tolerance of strangers?

Despite having a dim view of Uber and Lyft generally, I've had good experiences in Pools. I find that they're a great way to get recommendations for bars/restaurants/events in the area, and you have either a source or destination in common. People are usually either friendly or silent.

Not only that, but Pool encourages better transport resource utilization.

Because cars are a bit less wasteful with pool?

In what ways was it awkward?
