Ride sharing company Uber (Uber) is due to launch a ride-sharing service in Australia next week, according to the Daily Mail. Passengers in Sydney will be the first to enjoy the service. By sharing cars with others, passengers will be able to travel more cheaply.
It is understood that Uber will first implement the UberPool carpooling service in Sydney on April 3, and will gradually promote it to Australia this year.
Users who use UberPool can get a 50% reduction in travel costs by sharing a car with other passengers.

Uber has launched the service in the United States and other overseas countries for several years. Through an analysis of the hottest routes in the past five years, Uber is optimistic about launching the service in Australia.
Greenneck (Henry Greenacre), head of the company`s Australia-New Zealand region, said the ride-sharing service, while adding a few more minutes to travel, could save passengers a lot of money.
He stressed that in picking up commuters, passengers who get on the bus first do not have to face being too far off the target route. The service is more like putting together passengers in the same direction at the same time.
It is reported that recently, the new taxi application Taxify entered the Sydney market, and Uber started to compete for the market. And the United States second-largest taxi application Lyft also looked at the Australian market, ready for development.
Although Greenneck says sharing rides will reduce the number of vehicles on the road. However, studies have shown that Uber and other similar companies entered the Australian market as a result of giving up public transport or no longer travelling by bike.
