No, the same thing happened to me. Apparently the Uber app underwent a big rewrite. Also, uber offers two kinds of shared ride services. the first is the regular Uber pool, but they also have something called Pool Express, and if you are not careful, that is what you get. This service is cheaper than Uber Pool, but you are expected to walk to the nearest intersection, and you are generally dropped off at the nearest intersection to your destination, kind of like riding a bus. I have not been able to figure out how to avoid ending up with Pool Express. Personally, I have abandoned uber for lyft because their app is a lot easier to use.
Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: martin To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, July 29, 2019 6:03 PM Subject: problems with sharing rides on the uber app Hello: recently I tried getting on Uber using the shared ride setting where you could have up to 2 persons. Before when I used this I was able to indicate the number of seats needed. This time I didn’t find this feature. When I requested a ride I was instructed to go to a distant corner to meet the driver. Not being familiar with the area I was not able to find the location and the driver left. Has there been a change in the uber appp recently making this more difficult to use? Thanks for any help.
