Uber plans to temporarily remove the ability to split fares sometime next month, as reported by Mashable<\/em><\/a>. The company is \u201cin the process of reworking how riders split fares,\u201d Uber said in a statement shared with Mashable<\/em> and also given to The Verge<\/em>. \u201cWe know this is a popular feature, so rest assured that we are planning to roll out a new, improved version in the coming months.\u201d <\/p>\n

The company also sent an email to some customers informing them of the change, though it seems the email was partially incorrect. \u201cWe are sorry to let you know that from March 21st, we are discontinuing the \u2018Split fare\u2019 feature, which allows you to share the price of a trip with other riders,\u201d according to a screenshot of the email included in Mashable\u2019s<\/em> article. This email was sent to riders in the UK, Uber spokesperson Conor Ferguson told The Verge<\/em>.<\/p>\n

However, Ferguson says that the March 21st date was not right \u2014 instead, the feature will be removed sometime in April. And while the email Mashable<\/em> reported on does say that Uber is \u201ccontinuously working to improve your Ride sharing experience in other new ways,\u201d it does not appear to mention that Uber plans to roll out a new way to split fares in the future. <\/p>\n

Uber first introduced the ability to split fares in 2013<\/a>, and it\u2019s useful if you want to share the cost of a ride. Lyft removed its own \u201cSplit Pay\u201d feature in 2018<\/a>, though it has since created a half-measure: as of 2020, you can use Venmo as payment<\/a> and split the fare of a ride from the Venmo app. Ferguson also recommended using Venmo or another mobile payment app as an option to split an Uber fare.<\/p>\n

Update March 22nd, 3:01PM ET<\/strong><\/em>: Added context from Uber.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
