Uber to pay drivers more for UberPool rides as part of loyalty push
Aaron Schildkrout
âOne thing we hear a lot is that Pool feels like extra work without additional pay â said Uberâs head of driver product  Aaron Schildkrout. âMultiple pickups  in particular  make Pool trips more challenging for drivers.â
âThese shave minutes off of the trip for both riders and drivers â  Schildkrout  added. Additionally  the company plans to begin restricting pickups and drop-offs from typically crowded streets.
In response  Uber launched the â180 days of changeâ campaign  which kicked off in June with the option to tip drivers for the first time. The UberPool changes are the latest phase of the campaign   Schildkrout  said.
âOur hope is that drivers will begin to look forward to the next pickup on UberPool â  he  said.
