Uber has expanded its Express Pool feature to Washington, Los Angeles, Denver, Philadelphia, San Diego and Miami, following a trial period in San Francisco. Express Pool aims to make pick-ups easier and deviations shorter by asking passengers to wait a few minutes or walk to a nearby pick-up spot to enable a more direct route to be followed. Uber believes many passengers will prefer the option of a walk and a wait in order to save time and frustration for everyone involved in the ride. Uber aims to make the cost of ride-hailing closer to that of public transport.
