The Verge reports that UberPool (Uber’s carpool service) now has 100,k weekly users in New York, twice as many as it had only six months ago. Much of UberPool's success has stemmed from the company positioning the service as environmentally-friendly, as evidenced by a new partnership with the New York City Council to support #CarFreeNYC. To promote the initiative, Uber has claimed that if all of its New York City customers used UberPool for one day, "52,241 kg on the road and 117,263 miles of carbon dioxide would be saved."
