NEW YORK, NY – JUNE 14: An Uber car waits for a client in Manhattan a day after it was announced that Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick will take a leave of absence as chief executive on June 14, 2017 in New York City. The move came after former attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr. and his law firm, Covington & Burling, released 13 pages of recommendations compiled as part of an investigation of sexual harassment at the ride-hailing car service.

Many people that are looking at ride-sharing apps are constantly looking at price. Well, Uber is looking to give cheaper rides, especially if you can wait some time for one.
"Affordability is a top reason riders choose shared rides, and we're internally experimenting with a way to save money in exchange for a later pickup," said an Uber spokesperson in an email to the website Quartz, shared by CNET.
As someone who Lyft and Ubered their way all around Los Angeles, I am not upset by any means that California is going to to be in the test phase. Taking $16-$50 rides back and forth, it would be great if we could make these apps more affordable, especially in the case of people using Uber and Lyft as an alternative when intoxicated.
We'll keep you informed once the project rolls out to all Uber users.
