[Njtechdiv] Uber

[Andy]

Also, I forgot to mention Lyft.  It's similar to Uber, essentially the same thing.  It can be cheaper in some areas, though, so it might be worth grabbing both apps anyway.  They're both ride-sharing apps with essentially the same feature set, though a slightly different layout.

>> No, you don’t have to say there are two people. At least that is if you requested a regular car. I’m not sure if Uber still offers ride share or not, but maybe in a case like that you would have to specify how many people. I usually get the Uber X and don’t have to indicate if I’m riding with another person.
