What is an uber pool? I am imagining some sort of German engineering wonder.
It's a cheaper option, to allow your uber to "carpool", I.E. Your uber can pick up other passengers heading in the same direction to be more efficient, thus justifying your discount.
You can see why it'd be a jerk move to then get mad at the other passengers, who had no idea who they'd be pooling with, and how insane it would be to use it on the way to your wedding.
Isn’t it ironic, like somebody getting in your uber pool on your wedding day!
Or like picking up passengers when you’re already late
Like the romantic carriage ride that you just didn't take.
like a traaain, to your wedding day
I love this thread so much.
The parents of a classmate landed in some local newspaper for taking the bus to the wedding.
They looked happy on the picture
I was wondering too. Wouldn't the water get spilled in the turns?
You're clearly joking, but for the unaware, "Uber" is a crowdsource taxi/rideshare service. An "Uber pool" is similar to a carpool. Where you share the vehicle with other riders. Making the "Uber" vehicle, aka, someone else's car, into what is essentially a bus.
I've heard rumors that Uber is even talking about having drivers run a set route.... Like buses do.
We've come full circle.
Just gonna leave this here. Should be able to watch the episode on Netflix
