Uber launches 'Uber Pool' in Chicago

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Uber launched a new carpooling service called Uber Pool on Tuesday in Chicago.

Uber Pool allows riders who are taking similar routes share a ride.

Uber said the service is 25 percent cheaper than Uber-X.

Customers are billed separately at the end of each shared ride.

Uber Pool comes one day before Uber and other ride sharing services will begin operating out of Chicago's airports.
