Uber suspends shared rides to combat the spread of coronavirus
Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.
"In our efforts to help protect you, your riders, and our community, we've decided to suspend Uber Pool until further notice," the company said in an email to drivers following a call from one of the largest driver organizations to suspend shared rides. As of Tuesday morning, the spreading coronavirus had sickened more than 185,000 people worldwide, with 4,661 of those cases in the United States.
Uber and Lyft haven't said if the spreading virus is having any effect on their ridership, but their stock prices were caught in the larger selloff.
