Don't want to use Uber? Waze Carpool expands to other cities Initially launched in the U.S. last year, Waze Carpool in many ways functions similar to Uber: it matches drivers with riders and compensates those behind the wheel. According to Bardin, over the next several months the service will expand beyond San Francisco and Israel to several currently unnamed U.S. cities, as well as parts of Latin America. Unlike Uber, Waze charges riders a flat $.54 per-mile fee and doesn't aim to replace taxis. Instead, the company relies on people already driving somewhere being willing to pick up and drop off a stranger along the way. Waze Carpool focuses on covering costs, not generating an income. At most, you’ll receive two ride requests daily, located on your existing commute route at the time you’ll be driving on it. Riders pitch in for gas at a rate suggested by Waze, making it a great way for drivers to earn a bit of gas money and cover wear and tear on their vehicle, just as you might chip in on a road trip.
