Testing out Ubers new Uber pool feature.

Testing out the new uber pool Uber ride sharing feature. I took my first uber pool today and it was 5$. I went from Chelsea to the east village usually about a 12-15$ cab or uber, sometimes less than 10$ if traveling during off peak hours. Uber pool is an uber where you may or may not pick up another passenger also using uber pool on the way. So you must enter your destination before you can request and it will tell you the amount it will cost to get there and also the possibility of picking up one or two guests along the way. For me there were no pick ups and the ride was a great deal and smooth ride! This ride was only 1.25$ more than a subway ride which for the location I went would've required a transfer. A hassle and more time. For now I like uber pool and think I will start using this more often for its attempt to help save the environment by offering ride sharing, it's cheap prices, safe cars, speed (depending on traffic) and it's so easy.
