Uber Launches New 'Group Rides' Feature in India: Know How To Use And Other Details

Uber, an app-based taxi service company, has introduced a new feature for group journeys in India. When heading to a common location, this allows you to share the ride with up to three people. Users will be able to save up to 30% on their fares by using Group Passenger. Users will be able to add their friends to Uber journeys by sharing ride details via messaging apps. When friends join the trip, they will be able to add their own pickup spots, which will be updated as the journey progresses.

3 members at a time

The group rides function, according to Uber, allows users to share ride fares with only three individuals at a time. A maximum of five stop places can also be added to the function. The business also stated that in group rides, customers can invite their friends by sending a link. "With Group Rides, we give customers the option to save more money while riding with people they know." "Not only do riders save money and arrive at the same destination together, but they also do a good deed by getting more butts in fewer cars," said Nitish Bhushan, Director of Central Operations, Uber India, in a statement.
