Ride-hailing giant Uber has resumed its ride-sharing service in the United States, a top executive announced, offering customers in Miami a feature that was stopped last year because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The UberX Share option — formerly called Uber Pool — allows people to share rides with strangers at a reduced cost, and builds in precautions against the spread of the coronavirus.
“609 days later, shared rides are back in the US,” tweeted Andrew Macdonald, Uber’s Senior Vice President of Mobility and Business Operations Keeping Covid-19 in mind, drivers on the service can only transport two customers at a time and face masks are compulsory for everyone.—AFP
