Like UberPool, Uber Express Pool is a shared ride service offered by Uber, meaning that you may share a car with other riders on a similar trip. Unlike UberPool, Uber Express Pool doesn't guarantee that you will be picked up and dropped off at the exact location that you requested.

What is the value of express pool for Uber?
It should save riders money as well as time: Express Pool fares are as much as 50 percent cheaper than your standard shared Uber Pool ride and up to 75 percent compared to UberX fares.
What is the difference between UberX and Uber pool?
Uber Pool would give you a flat-rate discount before booking, up to 50 percent cheaper than just riding solo. With UberX Share, there's lots of fine print: Riders get a tiny deal up front and then up to 20 percent off if you match with another rider along the way (and that match can only be with a single rider).
Why did they stop Uber pool?
Uber Pool was a program originally launched in 2014. Uber and Lyft canceled pool rides during the pandemic, fearing that having too many people in a car would spread COVID. Uber has reactivated the program, but they rebranded it with a new name, UberX Share, and made a few changes to benefit the passenger.
