Carpool is coming to Black cabs

Gett will be looking to launch a carpooling service, similar to its rival Uber, in the Capital and possibly other markets in places such as New York. Gett Together

The founder and chief executive of Gett, Shahar Waiser has stated that it could achieve “price point in carpooling that’s never been done before”

For London that would be similar to tube prices which would be fixed.

“It’s a shared commute. There are many people in the car and actually using black cabs gives opportunity to have more people in the vehicle in comfort. With that we can achieve, firstly, faster speeds because we have access to the bus lanes,” said Waiser.

The service will take on UberPool which last week extended the areas of cover across the city.

Gett Together was available to some users on the 05/12/2016 and will be rolled out to a wider audience over the coming weeks.
