On Saturday, I got into an UberPool hoping for the off chance that we don’t get paired with anyone on the short ride between Brooklyn neighborhoods. As suspected, no such luck. Worse, the person we were matched with used a pickup address that was about 400 feet away from where she was actually standing, and brought another person to the carpool when she only requested one seat. This forced our driver to figure out how to add a second rider to her party, then cancel on the third person he was assigned to pick up. All-in-all, I was about 10 minutes behind schedule, but I can only imagine how annoyed the third guy must have been after counting on the ride to show up.
While Uber can’t enforce proper carpooling etiquettes, a new update may...
