As the Trump administration encourages Americans to avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people, the ride-sharing apps Uber and Lyft have decided to suspend the features that allow users to travel with strangers going in the same direction.
Business Insider reports that the decision to suspend the carpooling options, respectively known as UberPool and Lyft Line, was made to promote social-distancing amid the coronavirus outbreak. The carpooling feature previously allowed groups of strangers to travel in the same direction for cheap.
