In practice, group travel on transport apps has existed since the beginning, but o Uber just sort of formalized them. Now, the app allows a user to configure a trip for up to four people (three, in addition to him) in an automatic and practical way.

With the newest feature, just carry out the standard process for creating a trip and then mark it as “in a group” for the app to generate a shareable link, which can be sent to the people with whom the user wants to share it. the ride. Obviously, everyone needs to have an Uber account and the service application properly installed on their devices.

It is precisely in the app that each invited person adds the place of departure and/or destination. This data appears to the driver during the trip – which can avoid some very common setbacks in these situations.

Another conflict that Group Travel can resolve concerns paying the bill. Obviously, it is already possible for each passenger on a group trip to pay the person responsible for calling the vehicle a certain “quota” at the end of the trip, but now this process can be automated.

According to Uber, by dividing the amount of the account equally among passengers, each user saves an average of 30% — this is in relation to the average amount paid by an individual passenger on a trip in the UberX modality.

In any case, an unspecified fee is added to the cost of the trip for each passenger who joins the group (hello, Netflix?) — which may end up making users prefer the traditional model over this novelty.

According to TudoCelular.comthe company announced that the novelty is initially arriving in the cities of Porto Alegre (RS), Recife (PE), Brasília (DF), Manaus (AM), Natal (RN), São Luis (MA), Pelotas (RS), Macapá (AP) and Anápolis (GO).
