Uber announced in their annual Go-Get event Route Share and other new features. With Route Share Uber riders can get cheap, fixed-route rides along busy corridors during weekday commute hours in major U.S. cities.
The commuter shuttles will drive between pre-set stops every 20 minutes, according to Sachin Kansal, Uber’s chief product officer. He noted there will be dozens of routes in each launch city.

Riders can book a seat anywhere from seven days to 10 minutes before a scheduled pickup, and the app will provide them with turn-by-turn directions to get them from their house to the corner where they’ll be picked up.
This new feature started being available on Wednesday in Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, New York City, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. With this new feature riders will be able to save 50% off the price of an Uber X ride.
