Uber’s new ‘route share’ feature is being mocked by social-media users: ‘Uber just invented the bus’ 

• Uber has launched Route Share, a shuttle service that travels fixed routes during weekday commute hours, picks up riders every 20 minutes, and allows up to three passengers per vehicle at roughly half the cost of an UberX. Industry observers and social media users quickly noted its close resemblance to traditional bus services.

Uber has announced a new "Route Share" feature that takes multiple riders on a predetermined route at a set time each day. If that sounds a little familiar, you're not alone.
