In a news release, Uber suggested the new service is great for Calgarians “looking to ride with friends for a night out or even for a hockey game.”
In addition to offering roomier vehicles, UberXL also gives riders the option of splitting the fare with others when travelling in a group.
Before the addition of UberXL, riders were only able to use UberX, which orders a vehicle for a maximum of four passengers.
The company indicated UberSelect, which provides users with a ride in a luxury vehicle, will be introduced “in the coming months.”
