Uber and Lyft always seem to be keeping pace with one another, whether its on prices or features, which is why we weren’t too surprised to learn this week that Lyft is introducing a new carpool option called “Shared Saver.” Much like Uber’s Express Pool option, Shared Saver offers rides at cheaper prices, providing you’re willing to wait a few extra minutes for a match and walk to meet your driver rather than have them come straight to you.
There is one major benefit to Shared Saver (other than the lower prices), as Lyft says that these rides will never be affected by surge pricing. In theory, any ride from one specific destination to another should be almost exactly the same price with Shared Saver, no matter what time of day or what the weather’s like.
