NEW YORK — Uber announced a new promotion throughout July and August that is offering people in Manhattan a $79 four-week pass for uberPool rides during commuting hours, Huffington Post reports.
By comparison, a one-month unlimited NY MTA subway card is $116.50. Traveling in the city twice a day, five days a week, works out to $2.91 per subway trip or $1.98 per uberPool ride.

The service is a flexible, reservation-based transit service designed to close the first- and last-mile gaps and connect riders to employment for just $5 per day.
