Ride uberPOOL this week (April 25 - 29) for $4 (GTA only?)

I opened the Uber app, and got a pop-up with the following information:

"Commute for $4

Ride uberPOOL this week for $4

Monday to Friday
7-10 am and 5-8 PM

Limited time only"

That is the only information provided to me. I have no idea if this offer only applies for one trip, or if it is unlimited. I also do not know if this offer only applies in the GTA.

The entire trip, despite its distance, will be $4?

I saw this on the app to. Does this mean it's like unlimited distance? I'm downtown, can I uberpool it for $4 to the airport?

you sure you want to sit next to someone who smells?

I will take the smell of a business professional over a cab driver any day.

Was anyone else hoping this was a literal pool that drove around like on the Simpsons?

you also have the choice of the UP express (only good if near union station imo) or a town car to the airport (which in my area is $2 more than a cab ... much more comfortable than all choices!)

Yup, I just tested it by getting a quote in the app. Also tried from Mississauga to Brampton which is a 30 minute drive for $4. Sweet deal but I wonder how many times the car will stop to pick/drop.

Used this for my commute this morning and evening. 4$ from 88 Queens Quay to Square One is AWESOME. Really wish this promo was sticking around for longer.

No other riders on the morning uber.
Shared with one other rider in the evening - who turned out to be my friend's brother - holy coincidences!

One thing to note: in the evening around 6pm, I wasn't seeing the option for uberpool in my app (was only getting surge pricing). I had to try a few times + wait a few minutes to get it to show up.

That distance is more than $4 gas alone, so no, I don't see it being a regular promo lol

How do you get this? I am in GTA and don't see it in my app. I was at ACC 7pm and wanted to pool home to beaches.

Moment of silence for the end of this promotion. It has been a good week commuting door-to-door to/from downtown for just 4$.
