[Nfbsf] voiceover and Uber Pool/Uber Express Pool questions

[Karen Rose]

Hi. I texted back-and-forth with Uber for a long time to figure it out. Once you confirm pool and confirm your pick up address there is another field where you can disable walking. It will say walking will save you X amount of money. Enable or disable walking. It’s default is enabling walking. Double tap to disable it. Karen
