Uber plans to launch its UberPool service in London on Friday Dec. 4, according to a report by the Telegraph. The new service allows passengers to share a ride with other passengers for a 25% discount.
This launch will likely cause more tension between Uber and the traditional taxi industry in London, which has been going on since Uber launched in 2012, according to the report.
And Uber is facing questions after Transport for London recently proposed new restrictions on minicab services, including “controls on ridesharing in public vehicles,” says the report.
