Uber Expands Rider Sharing Program In Denver

DENVER (CBS4) - Uber is making it easier and cheaper for customers to rove around the Denver metro area.

The company is extending its Uberpool program to the Denver Tech Center.

The pool option lets riders share their car with another customer and split the cost of the trip.

Uber hopes it leads to less traffic and less pollution.

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said in a prepared statement that "by sharing a ride, our residents can save money and save the environment while helping to reduce congestion on one of Denver's busiest corridors."
