"Uber has launched a new feature to help users share taxi rides with those heading in the same direction. The UberPool feature, which is currently in private beta, will discount the cost of the user&amp;#039;s ride if it fails to pair them up with other passengers.  Uber works virtually anywhere in the world, allowing users to book a ride and compare prices between taxi companies from their mobile device UberPool ride booking will work in exactly the same way, with the cab directed to the user&amp;#039;s current location. The customer will be given only the first name of their co-passenger. Opponents of the app argue that it disrupts the business model of black cabs by acting like a taxi meter, which private cars are not permitted to use. In June, thousands of black cabs descended on Central London to protest against Uber and similar services, bringing part of the city to a standstill. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
