A new Uber service will operate shuttles in select cities along set routes, offering pickups every 20 minutes.

The company says it will be up to 50 percent less expensive than taking an UberX. Uber offers the example of a ride from the Upper West Side to the Lower East Side of Manhattan: while a normal UberX trip would cost $38, the Route Share version would only set you back $19.

Uber is launching a new service that offers fixed routes at a lower cost in select cities across the United States during weekday commuter hours.
